A Note on Archives and Sources A NOTE On ARCHIVES anD SOURCES Like many historians of the recent past, in this project I have struggled with the challenges of documenting events which are no longer ‘current’ yet have not yet properly been designated as ‘history’. This has meant cob- bling together a patchwork of sources, some of which are in conventional archives, but many more of which have been pulled together from librar- ies, second-hand bookshops, media databases and countless clippings passed to me by friends and colleagues. I am aware of much material which has been unavailable to me for one reason or another. For example, in the National Archives, MAFF Infestation Control Division records on badgers and bTB are extensive, but there is less material from Animal Health or the State Veterinary Service. As far as I can tell, some of this material has not yet been opened for public viewing, but according to some of my interviewees, other records were ‘thrown in the skip’ when many of MAFF’s regional offices were closed during the 1990s. The archives of the NFU from 1909 to 1946 are held at the Museum of English Rural Life, but I was unable to access their more recent records. While the RSPCA used to keep internal records, apparently they no longer employ an archi- vist: similarly the Wildlife Trust’s records are not centrally archived. It is almost certain that there are other sources which will throw new light on what I have just written: in my view this work has just scratched the sur- face. I look forward to being challenged! © The Author(s) 2019 295 A.

  • Covid-19: Joint Statement to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
    COVID-19: JOINT STATEMENT TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER Rt Hon RISHI SUNAK We write on behalf of Birmingham’s business community, including the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, Birmingham City Council, the Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership, the Institute of Directors West Midlands, the Federation of Small Businesses, MPs, Lords, Trade Unions and Business Improvement Districts following the announcement yesterday that the City was to be subject to further enhanced restrictions. Birmingham now falls into the “High Level” category of restrictions (Tier 2) which amongst other things will prevent the mixing of households in social settings. This alone will have a devastating impact on an already fragile hospitality sector. We acknowledge and appreciate that Government is making incredibly difficult decisions in unprecedented times. But these are also difficult and unprecedented times for our employees, constituents and members, many of whom have had to live with the uncertainty that Covid-19 has brought over the spring and summer months which now seems likely to extend for the duration of the winter. Prior to Covid-19 Birmingham was booming with an economy second only to London in size at £31.9bn. Our tourism and hospitality sectors were worth £13bn employing close to 76,000 people. The Council and Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce wrote to you last week setting out the steps that the Government needed to take to help limit the impact of coronavirus on the City. These included:- (a) Taking an evidence-informed approach to the implementation of restrictions, so if a threshold is met (such as the rate of infection per 100,000) work is undertaken to fully understand the sources of infection in a geographic area to enable the tailoring of restrictions accordingly.

Advances in observation and analysis come with advances in techniques of description and communication.

    • RON ENT g NEWS RELEASE 470 17 November 1987 DOMESTIC RATES TO BE ABOLISHED IN MOST AREAS OF ENGLAND IN 1990 The Government has decided to introduce the Community Charge in one go on 1 April 1990 in all local authorities in England, except for the highest spending areas in London, Environment Secretary Nicholas Ridley told the House of Commons today. In a small number ot areas where spending is highest, either as a result of the Inner London Education Authority, or the Borough, or both, the Community Charge will be phased in over four years between 1990-1994. For those high-spending areas every adult will pay a £100 Community Charge in 1990/1991 if spending is unchanged compared with the previous year. At the same time, households in those areas will pay a proportion of their rates. The proportion will decline steadily to zero over the following four years while the Community Charge will increase. For all other areas Community Charge will be introduced fully on 1 April 1990. As previously announced there will also be a safety net, phased out over four years to limit the effects of the move to the new grant and business rate systems on Community Chargepayers and ratepayers. It is now proposed, however, that there will be a maximum contribution to the safety net of £75 per adult in any area.

Five months into our state-wide lockdown, I am extremely proud of our Center and Clark staff, who have adjusted to the “new normal” with tremendous resourcefulness, flexibility, creativity, communal spirit, and good humor. Although the initial transition to telecommuting was exigent and demanding, we have risen to the challenge and have been able to keep both the Center and the Clark running smoothly and safely during the closure. While physically closed to the public, we have continued to serve our community, finding new opportunities to connect across a range of media. At the Clark, our staff, led by our archivist Rebecca Fenning Marschall and photoduplication coordinator Scott Jacobs, have worked diligently to digitize materials for use in this spring’s Ahmanson Undergraduate Seminar on the Wilde Center/Clark Director, Helen Deutsch, with (L to R) Chancellor Gene Block, Head Librarian Anna Chen, and Archive, valiantly and expertly taught by Distinguished Professor of Professor Emeritus Maximillian Novak, at The Clark Library’s Grand Reopening Celebration (Jan 2018).

Gessner wrote many dedications, only a minority of which were addressed to major patrons of his day. Instead he used them to thank dozens of physicians and scholars for sending him information, images, and manuscripts for his ongoing projects. Gessner acknowledged new arrivals in successive publications and invited further contributions explicitly. In "to the readers" and other passages Gessner called attention to his future publication plans and his skill in working with printers and in editing manuscripts of recently deceased scholars, thereby also encouraging new commissions. Gessner was also a master indexer and innovated especially in drawing up the first index of authors cited for his edition of Stobaeus in 1543 and a new all-purpose index in his Stobaeus of 1559. Many other aspects of Gessner's paratexts warrant further study.
