Our vision is inspirational museums and galleries where people can reflect upon the past, question the present and imagine the future. Our mission is to connect with our visitors, share stories about Sheffield and the wider world, and care for the city’s collections. 5 Natural Sciences Collections Assistant Glenn Roadley cleaning a white-handed gibbon (Hylobates Iar) in prepeartion for the new displays at Weston Park Museum. 6 Photo © Andy Brown Welcome It has been a busy and successful year on all fronts with wonderful exhibitions, displays and events at all sites. As I look back I am thankful for the incredible talent and commitment of the Museums Sheffield team and the huge generosity of people and organisations in Sheffield and across the UK who support our work. In June 2015 Museum Sheffield completed the refurbishment of The Sykes Gallery, the home of Sheffield’s Designated Metalwork Collection at the Millennium Gallery. The new displays showcase the depth and breadth of the collection, which is a testament to Sheffield’s design and manufacturing excellence. We were delighted to celebrate the naming of the The Sykes Gallery and to recieve the generous support from Sir Hugh and Lady Ruby Sykes for the ongoing development of the city’s remarkable Metalwork Collection. Another highlight of the year was the ground breaking Going Public - International Art Collectors in Sheffield, seen across the Millennium Gallery, Graves Gallery, Sheffield Cathedral, Sheffield Hallam University and Site Gallery. To collaborate with so many partners and to exhibit work from four major private European collections was a wonderful achievement. Going Public profiled Sheffield on a global stage and stimulated significant debate around the world about the relationship between private philanthropy and the public art space. It was the beginning of an exciting journey for us all. It’s wonderful to see that work to create flexible new displays for the collections at Weston Park Museum is well underway. Funded by Heritage Lottery Fund with support from a range of funders and our many visitors, the new displays will enable more people to experience the richness of the collections. We look forward to seeing the project complete in October 2016. My thanks go to our visitors and users, and to our partners the V&A, Sheffield Culture Consortium, the Guild of St George, Sheffield City Council and Arts Council England. Finally, I’d like to offer sincere thanks to the whole team, our volunteers and Trustees for all the work they do to support Museums Sheffield.

Image page 8Photo © Museums Sheffield Thank you The achievements of 2015/16 can be summed up in one word: collaboration. Our relationships with partners throughout the city region, from schools, artists, businesses and friends to colleagues in museums across South Yorkshire have seen us share a common purpose. We have worked together to celebrate our arts and culture, making Sheffield a better place to be, and demonstrating our collective ambition for the city and region. This year our vibrant creative programme has enabled the people of Sheffield to learn more about their collections, and brought new objects and works of art to the city. This programme has developed through discussions and partnerships across the country and I would like to thank all of the individuals and organisations who have shared ideas and supported us this year including; Creswell Crags, the National Portrait Gallery, the Herbert Museum & Art Gallery, the V&A, Arts Council Collection, Bridget Riley, Jo Peel, Karsten Schubert, Nicolas and Celia Cattelain, Dominique & Sylvain Levy, Egidio and Daniel Marzona, Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Sebastien Montabonel, Mark Doyle, and the family, friends and colleagues of Frank Constantine. As members of the Sheffield Culture Consortium, Museums Sheffield has planned and delivered a rich and diverse programme of exhibitions and events to support Sheffield’s Year of Making 2016. The strategic approach and resources of The University of Sheffield have been instrumental in the realisation of the Year of Making, and I would like to thank Professor Vanessa Toulmin and her team for their support and commitment. The year began with the opening of In the Making, a beautiful and thoughtful Guild of St George funded exhibition that drew from the Ruskin Collection, the V&A, the Arts Council Collection, and from the work of contemporary artists, to examine the importance of making in a successful society. In the Making set the scene for a wonderful series of events and exhibitions that explore what it is to make in 21st century Sheffield. An outstanding creative programme inspired by our collections and our population is vitally important to Sheffield and to the sustainability of our work as a charity. I would like to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of the Museums Sheffield team in generating ideas and engaging creative content, and bringing new thinking to the work we do. Whether it’s researching material for the new displays at Weston Park Museum, developing our Live Lates series, or welcoming our visitors every day, the huge commitment and energy of our team, our volunteers and our Trustees is crucial and invaluable. I’d like to extend my thanks and appreciation to each of my colleagues here and to everyone, including our visitors, our Friends and our Stakeholders, who has worked with us during the year - we look forward to collaborating again in the year ahead.

  • Data Journeys As an Approach for Exploring the Socio-Cultural Shaping of (Big) Data: the Case of Climate Science in the United Kingdom
    Data Journeys as an approach for exploring the socio-cultural shaping of (big) data: the case of climate science in the United Kingdom Jo Bates, University of Sheffield Paula Goodale, University of Sheffield Yuwei Lin, University for the Creative Arts Abstract The paper reports on a pilot study aimed at developing, and assessing the utility of, a data journeys approach for critically exploring the socio-cultural shaping of interconnected data infrastructures. At various points along the journey of a (metaphorical) datum - from production through processing, re-use and intersection with other data journeys - selected organisations and projects are brought into focus and empirical data about the socio-cultural values and practices shaping the life of data within that particular space are collected using a variety of qualitative data collection methods. These empirical data are then critically and thematically analysed in relation to the broader social context. This paper outlines the rationale for the data journeys approach prior to presenting initial findings from The Secret Life of a Weather Datum research project which applies the approach to explore the socio-cultural values and practices interacting with weather and climate data as they move through a variety of data infrastructures. The initial findings presented in this paper focus specifically on weather data production and climate science at Weston Park Museum Weather Station in Sheffield, UK; the Met Office (the UK’s national meteorological organisation); the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK (a world leading climate research institute); and the Old Weather Project (a citizen science project involved in historical weather data recovery and rescue).

  • British Canvas, Stretcher and Panel Suppliers' Marks. Part 12, England Outside London
    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 12, England outside London This guide surveys suppliers’ marks and labels on the reverse of picture supports. This part is devoted to suppliers in England excluding London. Marks relating to framing, restoration and picture dealing are not treated here. Part 14, devoted to restorers, includes the canvas stamps of R.W. King (Yarmouth and Norwich) and J.R. Taylor (Manchester). Several of the suppliers bought in materials from larger companies and applied their own label or stamp, often quite small. Examples include Keet (on a Roberson support), Mason (Ackermann & Co and Roberson & Miller), Lanham, Norton and Whitehead (Winsor & Newton), Tovey and Whitehead (G. Rowney & Co). Measurements of marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the stretching or later conservation treatment of a canvas or the trimming of a label. Links are given to institutional websites where the dimensions of works can be found. For individual suppliers, see the database, British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples. Compiled by Jacob Simon, January 2019, updated February 2020, and based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon. With thanks to Dr Joyce Townsend for providing information on paintings in Tate.

  • Decorative Art in the Museum and the Novel, 1850-1880. Jacqueline Yauop January 2006
    Narrative Objects: Decorative Art in the Museum and the Novel, 1850-1880. Jacqueline YaUop Submitted for the degree of PhD, Centre for Nineteenth-Century Studies, Department of English Literature. January 2006. Abstract: In the face of financial disaster, Dr Lydgate attempts to share his concerns with his wife, Rosamund, in George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871). Rosamund's refusal to engage with the crisis, or to sympathise with her husband's despair, is repeatedly presented by Eliot as a preoccupation with inanimate, decorative objects: Rosamund 'turned her neck and looked at a vase on the mantelpiece'. 1 The mid- nineteenth-century novel increasingly explores what it means to own, collect and display objects, and how personal and public lives can be constructed and defined by 'things'. Recent critical discussion has examined the significance of the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, and the subsequent international exhibitions, as a catalyst for, and an expression of, new ways of producing and consuming objects. 2 These dazzling exhibitions, in conjunction with the foundation of the South Kensington Museum (1857), began to formulate principles of design and models of taste for the public. Increasingly influential, however, was the development of the smaller, regional museum collections of decorative objects which began to emerge in the second half of the nineteenth century. Most of these shared with their national counterparts an intention to educate the public; almost all retained 1 George Eliot, Middlemarch, ed. by David Carroll (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998), p. 612. 2 See, for example, Jeffrey A. Auerbach, The Great Exhibition: A Nation on Display (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1999) and Andrew Miller, Novels Behind Glass: Commodity Culture and Victorian Narrative (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995).

The inclusion of animal remains in funerary contexts was a routine feature of Anglo-Saxon cremation ritual, and less frequently of inhumations, until the introduction of Christianity during the 7th century. Most interpretation has focused either on the animal as symbolic of identity or as an indication of pagan belief, with little consideration given to the interaction between these two aspects. Animals were a fundamental and ubiquitous part of early medieval society, and their contribution to mortuary practices is considered to be multifaceted, reflecting their multiple roles in everyday life. This project considers the roles of animals in mortuary practice between the 5th-7th centuries across five counties in eastern England – Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex – in both cremation and inhumation rites.
