    Collections Development Policy

    Collections Development Policy Harris Museum & Art Gallery Preston City Council Date approved: December 2016 Review date: By June 2018 The Harris collections development policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, currently every 12-18 months while the Re-Imagining the Harris project develops. Arts Council England will be notified of any changes to the collections development policy, and the implications of any such changes for the future of the Harris’ collections. 1. Relationship to other relevant policies/plans of the organisation: The Collections Development Policy should be read in the wider context of the Harris’ Documentation Policy and Documentation Plan, Collections Care and Conservation Policy, Access Policy Statement and the Harris Plan. 1.1. The Harris’ statement of purpose is: The Re-Imagining the Harris project builds on four key principles of creativity, democracy, animation and permeability to create an open, flexible and responsive cultural hub led by its communities and inspired by its collections. 1.2. Preston City Council will ensure that both acquisition and disposal are carried out openly and with transparency. 1.3. By definition, the Harris has a long-term purpose and holds collections in trust for the benefit of the public in relation to its stated objectives. Preston City Council therefore accepts the principle that sound curatorial reasons must be established before consideration is given to any acquisition to the collection, or the disposal of any items in the Harris’ collection. 1.4. Acquisitions outside the current stated policy will only be made in exceptional circumstances. 1.5. The Harris recognises its responsibility, when acquiring additions to its collections, to ensure that care of collections, documentation arrangements and use of collections will meet the requirements of the Museum Accreditation Standard.

  • Book Review: River Calder

    Book Review: River Calder

    Book review: River Calder by Pam Norfolk [email protected] Tucked away in the well-trodden Lancashire countryside near Burnley is the mysteriously named Valley of the Goblins. The real name of this wild, isolated and beautiful spot is Thursden, part of a popular walking route which follows the River Calder. ‘Thurses’ were supernatural goblins or poltergeists in the Middle Ages and locals believed that one of their last haunts was the Thursden Valley. The ancients, many of whom were buried in this uncompromising place, also believed that the Norse god Thor lived here and created thunder by banging his giant hammer against the rocks below Rieve Edge. Within the valley is a stream which eventually becomes the River Calder, the shortest in England and one of three rivers (the others being the Ribble and Hodder) which meet in Mitton. The Calder was once described as ‘the Cinderella’ of the trio because of its industrial past but it has been undergoing something of a renaissance. The fish are coming back, over a million trees have been planted in the nearby moorland cloughs, abandoned coal mines no longer discharge into local streams and the Ribble Rivers Trust is working hard to improve the waters and to celebrate a new era for this rich and historic area, Burnley Borough Councillor and Burnley Civic Society chairman Roger Frost has collaborated with Ian Thompson and Victoria Dewhurst on this fully illustrated guide. The river passes through Holme Chapel, Walk Mill, Burnley, Padiham, Altham and Whalley before joining the Ribble near Great Mitton. It lies in the shadow of brooding Pendle Hill and its name essentially means ‘fast-flowing water.’ And the Calder can certainly be perilous.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 PIC Based Power Loom Automation Using IOT P.Balasubramani, R.Krishnaveni Abstract: In this paper, a novel method to automate shuttled power looms is proposed. Power loom is a mechanized loom, mainly meant for the purpose of weaving in textile industries. It considerably reduces human labor and wastage. Hence it helps to ensure high quality cloth production, monitoring and measurement. It provides automatic warp and weft error detection and automatic weft replenishment. This module uses PIC16F877A to provide the necessary automation of the shuttled power looms, with immediate termination of its motor operation in case of any weft or warp errors. Also the amount of woven cloth is ultimately displayed in LCD. Keywords: weft, warp, single and double pick, PIC16F877A Proximity sensor, Control switches, Phototransistor, error detection and indication, production monitoring. ———————————————————— I.

  • Portrait of a Bowbearer

    Portrait of a Bowbearer

    PORTRAIT OF A BOWBEARER William Bowland Richard Eastwood, the butcher’s son who became Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland There have been Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland since the twelfth century. Perhaps the most notorious of these being Nicholas Tempest who was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in 1537 for his part in the ill-fated Pilgrimage of Grace, the Catholic revolt against Henry VIII. Thomas Lister Parker (b. 1797) was among the more colourful. His lavish re- modelling of Browsholme Hall led to ruin and bankruptcy while he exploited local history, through his patronage of Thomas Dunham Whitaker, to inflate the glories of his ancestral line. To Lister Parker, we owe the myth of the hereditary Bowbearer – a right he claimed proudly and disingenuously right up to the time of his death in 1858 (his cousin having legally assumed the Bowbearership in 1820 at the time he purchased the Browsholme estate). 1 However, for much of its long history, the Bowbearership – an ancient ceremonial office bestowed upon an official who accompanied the Lord of Bowland hunting and literally bore his bow – has been a quiet affair, held by the heads of worthy local families and sometimes their sons: the Rawlinsons, the Listers, the Fenwicks. On two occasions only in nine hundred years do we see the office retained within families and across generations for any period of time: by the de Boltons in the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; and by the Parkers in the three centuries after the Restoration. Early Bowbearers appear to have been foresters in fee , holders of their own feudal lands within the Forest.
