Our vision is providing 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. Photo © Andy Brown Welcome 2014/15 was a milestone year for Musuems Sheffield. In July, we were thrilled to be awarded Major Partner Museum status by Arts Council England, which was testament to the hard work of everyone at Museums Sheffield and recognition of the vital cultural resource we provide for the city region and beyond. The continued commitment of Sheffield City Council was critical to this process in providing financial support which the Trustees recognise is difficult against a backdrop of spending cuts. The importance of securing Major Partner Museum status cannot be underestimated and my thanks go to all those involved in this hugely successful bid, and to ACE for having confidence in us. Yet again the team delivered some fantastic exhibitions ranging from those with a very strong local focus, such as Sheffield and the First World War, Picturing Sheffield and The Great Outdoors: Paintings by Stanley Royle, to those which came to us through our partnerships with national collections such as the National Portrait Gallery’s Picture the Poet and the V&A’s Recording Britain. Collaboration remains at the heart of our work, be it with national partners such as the Campaign for Drawing, or more locally in our successful co-ventures with Doc/Fest, Tramlines and Off the Shelf. Another high point for the Board was the award in November of £697,000 of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the improvement and development of Weston Park Museum. We continue to push for a target of £1m through our I Love My Museum campaign to support this and other work at the Museum. We were also successful during the year in raising funds to support those provided by DCMS Wolfson for the refurbishment of our Metalwork Collection displays. Housed at the Millennium Gallery, the reinvigorated gallery will provide a remarkable showcase for Sheffield’s Designated collection of nationally and internationally important metalwork. All of the above only remains possible if we create a sustainable future. Private and corporate giving is very important to us and our thanks go to all those who have contributed during the year, as well as those who worked hard to make it happen. While all of our successes are a great foundation, we are on a journey where more needs to be done to secure regular funding and encourage philanthropy. We look to attract more business involvement as the cultural resources of the city are recognised as an important part of the infrastructure that benefits all our region’s employers and their employees. A final thank you goes to Kim Streets and her dedicated team of staff, my fellow Trustees and to all the volunteers who gave their time freely during 2014/15 and are passionate supporters of the work of Museums Sheffield. John Cowling Chair of Trustees Museums Sheffield Image page Photo © Museums Sheffield What we do Sheffield has incredible collections that provide a compelling window on our natural world and a unique insight into thousands of years of human life in our city region and beyond. As a charity, our role is to care for and conserve the city’s cultural assets on behalf of Sheffield City Council; to share the collections with the widest possible audience and to use them as a lens through which to explore the world and make sense of contemporary life. In our museums, people can connect with their cultural heritage, learn new things and take pleasure in being part of this creative, generous and welcoming city. In 2014/15, Picturing Sheffield opened at the Millennium Gallery offering a rich and intriguing portrait of Sheffield’s tumultuous journey from small town to vibrant 21st century urban centre. The exhibition revealed the back streets, alleyways and villages, windswept moorland and ancient woodland, places lost, forgotten and remembered. At Weston Park Museum, Sheffield and the First World War marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the war and provided a complex and intimate insight into the human impact of war. Extraordinary stories of courage, tragedy, love and loss were told through personal letters, photographs and objects kept for a century and generously loaned to the exhibition by Sheffield families. These two exhibitions were seen by almost a quarter of a million people and gave a platform for some inspiring work by young people alongside a wide range of events and activities for adults and families. Museums are places for people – free and welcoming public realms where new thinking and conversations can begin, where people can get involved and feel part of something. Taking the collections and our beautiful city as its starting points, the Arts Council England (ACE) funded Drawing the Summer programme was a great example of what good museums can do, encouraging over 3000 participants of all ages and abilities to pick up a pencil and draw. Similarly, Picture the Poet at the Graves Gallery inspired young people to create poetry and performances inspired by our nation’s finest wordsmiths. Over 15,000 schoolchildren visited our sites and took part in workshops based around the collections and a rich programme of exhibitions. In July 2014, we received the fantastic news that Museums Sheffield had been awarded ACE Major Partner Museum status. This award and the funding it provides has given the charity an important opportunity to develop our creative programme, to extend our work in the city region and to develop an ambitious and sustainable future plan that places Sheffield’s museums at the heart of a vibrant and successful city economy. There is much to do and the charity is at the beginning of an exciting journey. I’d like to thank everyone for their continued support, from our funders and partners to our team of talented colleagues, volunteers, Trustees and Friends whose dedication and commitment enables the charity to deliver a great museum experience for everyone, everyday.

  • 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.
