    Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

  • The University Library’S Special Collections, Indicating Date Range and Subject Coverage and Explaining the Means of Access to These Important Research Collections
    Printed Special Collections in Durham University Library: a Guide to Catalogues This guide is intended to list and briefly describe the main groups of printed material held in the University Library’s Special Collections, indicating date range and subject coverage and explaining the means of access to these important research collections. Information is also given on early printed book collections in other Durham libraries. THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY The University Library has rich collections of early printed books and local material, and some specialist collections of modern printed items. Some of these are associated with particular manuscript and archive collections, but finding-aids to the manuscripts and archives are outside the scope of this guide. The Library’s Special Collections are all housed in its Palace Green Section. Apart from local material, most of the collections described here are not available on open access but are produced on request for consultation in the Search Room at Palace Green. CATALOGUE ACCESS Records for a significant proportion of this material are not yet available on the Library’s OPAC (on-line public access catalogue), although the OPAC does include most post-1900 material and a steadily growing proportion of the earlier Special Collections books. Access to many pre-1801 items, however, is still via the old Author Catalogues at the Main Library and at Palace Green, supplemented by the various catalogues of individual collections listed below. For more information about the old Author Catalogues see the separate Guide to the Older Catalogues; it is important to read this thoroughly. For certain categories of material, however, quick finding-aids available in the Search Room at Palace Green provide the most rapid and comprehensive way to discover what is available; most of these cover the holdings of both the University and other Durham Libraries.

  • English Heritage / Heritage at Risk 2013 / North East
    Heritage at Risk is our campaign to save listed buildings and important historic sites, places and landmarks from neglect or decay. At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From Clifford’s Fort, North Tyneside to the Church of St Andrew, Haughton le Skerne, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups. It will be increasingly important to build on these partnerships to achieve the overall aim of reducing the number of sites on the Register. Carol Pyrah, Planning and Conservation Director, North East Despite the continued recession, the number of sites that the HLF has continued to invest in the future of places on the Register continues to fall. The economic climate of worship by supporting vital church repairs. HLF funding may be uncertain, but successful partnerships across the has also secured a future for the Bowes Railway Trust by North East are removing many important heritage assets helping them develop training, education and heritage from the Register. This year we have successfully removed skills.

When I first learned of the founding of the Catholic Archives Society I felt a sense of deep relief, as many must have done. Every now and then one had heard of the irreparable loss of Catholic documents and wondered what future generations would think of us for allowing such things to happen. Mgr. Philip Hughes once stated that more than one third of the Catholic papers listed in the last century by the Historical Manuscripts Commission had been lost by the time he became archivist at Westminster. Lately, indeed, something has been done to avert further losses. The valuable papers of the Old Brotherhood still remaining have been gathered and bound and deposited for safe-keeping. A number of dioceses are now placing their records on permanent loan in county record offices established since the last war.

  • Skull of Bede
    1 THE SKULL OF BEDE Authors Joanna Story: School of History, The University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH. Email: [email protected] Richard N. Bailey Abstract In 1831 Canon James Raine excavated Bede’s tomb in Durham Cathedral revealing a partial skeleton accompanied by a medieval ring. Three casts were made of the skull; the recent re-discovery of one of these casts provokes an examination of the authenticity of the remains and of antiquarian interests in craniology in the mid nineteenth century. Text I. The 1831 excavation Canon James Raine (1791–1858) excavated St. Cuthbert’s tomb in Durham Cathedral in 1827.1 The spectacular discoveries of that controversial investigation no doubt then encouraged him to turn his attention to Bede’s tomb in the Galilee chapel. In 1830 workmen dismantled the table tomb down to pavement level and then – with his well-honed sense of political timing – Raine excavated the grave beneath on the anniversary of Bede’s death on 27 May 1831. His report was published in 1833 as part of a history of the cathedral building, and this information can be supplemented by a draft of its text which is contained in Raine’s autograph annotations to his earlier book on St Cuthbert.2 According to Raine, when he opened Bede’s tomb, the human bones he found there were: Although by no means furnishing the full complement of those belonging to a perfect skeleton, appeared nevertheless to have been purposely arranged in their respective places, in a coffin of the full size, of which, though in a very decomposed state, there were numerous traces.

  • Medieval Manuscripts in Ushaw College Library: a Fragmentary History
    Medieval Manuscripts in Ushaw College Library: A Fragmentary History Benjamin Pohl and Leah Tether (University of Bristol) The church completed, other buildings next Successive rose – a library well stored With many thousand books, encased in shelves Of cedar wood, in useful bindings all, And all arrayed with classic skill and taste. (An Old Alumnus of Ushaw College)1 The city of Durham is known internationally for its rich medieval manuscript collections, both in its Cathedral Library and in the University Library’s Special Collections on Palace Green, thanks in no small measure to the highly productive scriptorium and well-stocked monastic library of Durham’s medieval Cathedral Priory. Indeed, efforts are now well underway to recreate these collections and reunite their surviving books digitally, thus augmenting both access to and awareness of them on a global scale. Perhaps less well known is Durham’s other home for medieval manuscripts, located just a few miles from the peninsula upon which the aforementioned repositories are sited: the Big Library of the former Catholic seminary of Ushaw College near Ushaw Moor, founded in 1808. Ushaw’s Big Library is aptly named, for it easily – and quite deliberately – rivals, in splendour, size and contents, the great College libraries of Oxford and Cambridge.2 Built to house the College’s burgeoning book collections, its construction was completed in 1851 after a design by Charles and Joseph Hansom; a previous design by famed architect Augustus Pugin had been rejected, less for aesthetic reasons than precisely because it was deemed too small.3 Owing to its original purpose as a domestic library purely for staff and seminarians, Ushaw Library’s rich collections were not publicly accessible until 1 An Old Alumnus, Records and Recollections of St.
