This is the first major Strategic Plan developed for our Museums and Galleries Service and the first such comprehensive Plan that I have received as Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture. This is a very important time for our Museums and Galleries Service, as we embark on a huge redevelopment of Nottingham Castle until 2020 – a development that is vital not only to secure the future of this world-renowned site, but as a keystone in the future economic prosperity of the City through the creation and support of new employment. However, the Plan encompasses the future of all of our major heritage sites, including Nottingham Castle Museum, Wollaton Hall and Park, Newstead Abbey with its beautiful gardens and grounds and Greens Mill. It includes an ambitious programme for the development of our outstanding collections, with detailed proposals for associated learning, engagement, digital developments, research and scholarship. Partnership working is vital to this enterprise and the role of partners for service delivery, research or as funders is clearly identified. In particular, the developing role of volunteer engagement, which will be vital to the sector as a whole, is a priority for development. The Service already has considerable expertise in this area and this will serve the wider community well as we aim to develop over the next few years. This is just one area where our Service will provide strong leadership to the wider museum sector in the coming years. The Plan also features significant Arts Development proposals for the City with a detailed programme of artistic development, including a major contribution for Asian Arts in the City and beyond and heralds our ambition to be a UNESCO City of Literature. The last few years have been very challenging for local authorities, as we have had to cope with huge cuts to our base budgets, and it is certain that these difficult times are far from over. This has had an impact across all services but our Museums and Galleries Service has proved to be very resilient and it is therefore all the more impressive that we can aspire to such an ambitious programme of activity with the confidence and the authority described here. 141022plan Page 3 of 96 Nottingham City Council Museums & Galleries Service Strategic Plan 2014 – 2018 [ii] Contents Plan Section Section Content PREAMBLE [i] Preface by Councillor Dave Trimble [ii] Contents [iii] Executive Summary of Plan 1.0 OUR PLAN CONTEXT 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Review of Previous Strategic Plans 1.3 Nottingham – the Political and Economic Context 1.4 Citizen First! 1.5 Nottingham Arts Framework 2012 - 2022 1.6 Our Purpose 1.7 Current and Future Governance 1.8 Resilience 2.0 OUR SITES 2.1 Nottingham Castle 2.2 The Museum of Nottingham Life 2.3 Wollaton Hall and Park 2.4 Nottingham Industrial Museum 2.5 Newstead Abbey and Gardens 2.6 Greens Mill and Science Centre 2.7 Other Facilities 3.0 OUR PLAN – The 6 ‘Cs’ 3.1 Creativity 3.2 Collections 3.3 Community 3.4 Collaboration 3.5 Communication 3.6 Commercialisation 4.0 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS 4.1 Nottingham City Museums and Derby Museums Trust 4.2 Sectoral Leadership and Engagement 141022plan Page 4 of 96 5.0 FORMULATION AND REVIEW OF OUR PLAN 5.1 Plan Development 5.2 Plan Review 5.3 Leadership Development and Diversity APPENDICES A1.1 Strategic Policy Context A1.2 Key Stakeholders and Partner Organisations A1.3 Nottingham City Council Citizen First!

The Plan has been written to explain: • The origins and recent history of our Service, the historic structures we care for and the many collections we hold – many of national and international importance. • The social, political, economic and cultural context in which we operate. • Our demonstrable record of good performance in the most trying of circumstances • How we will use our excellent record for income generation, major project funding, community engagement and digital media to take a greater leadership role for the sector. • The strategic partnerships and collaborations that will enable us to achieve this – in particular, our Consortium with Derby Museums Trust. • Our priorities for research and other forms of collaboration that will achieve this. • Our objectives and priorities for funding and action to 2018. Description of the Plan The full Strategic Plan is a very substantial document. It follows national guidance in its form – the scale of the document has, however, been determined by the range and complexity of the Service, the range and importance of our historic buildings and by the outstanding range of collections that we care for. Nottingham City Museums is a very large and complex Service, with close inter-relation of functions. Nevertheless, the very significant adjustments to our Service provision and the fundamental changes of approach have been introduced very quickly indeed and it is for that reason that our Service has not suffered the shock of the economic downturn in the way that many might have feared. The full plan and appendices include all relevant background information and our detailed work programme to 2018. The Plan itself has five sections, covering all aspects of our Service provision. 141022plan Page 6 of 96 The first section of the Plan is entitled OUR PLAN CONTEXT . This, as the title suggests, sets the broad context of our operation and includes a review of previous strategic and mid-term plans for the Service since 2002. It introduces the political and economic context in which we operate, the Citizen First! Customer Care strategy we have available to meet the challenges of a operating large visitor attractions in a city of great diversity and the artistic and cultural context of our operation. Responsibility for the Arts team [including the Asian Arts Team], devolved to the Museums & Galleries Service in 2012 and the first section therefore includes within the strategic context, a thorough review of the Arts activity that will be undertaken and the framework of arts provision in the City. Our Purpose is the next section which introduces our Mission statement for the Service. We will inspire and challenge the way people experience, explore and develop their ideas about Nottingham and the world through the creative use of our museum sites, collections and cultural resources The section also introduces our six key themes, our overall goal is CHANGE and this will be achieved through the “6 Cs”, for the Strategic Plan. These are introduced in turn and the section introduces a vision statement for each. These are included in the table of Outcomes below. The themes are: CHANGE: Creativity Community Collections Collaboration Communication Commercialisation This first section of the Plan also includes a short review of current and future governance. Our Service has already embraced significant change and will continue to develop even more diverse and sustainable revenue streams to reduce dependence on City Council funding. This will involve defining the nature and scope of the Service in future. An obvious option, therefore, is the development of a new organisational structure which can be commercially free of many of the constraints of local authority procedures. It is realised corporately that, having begun to look seriously at the future development of the Castle as a world class attraction, a changed model of governance may well be necessary for the Service as a whole. The Service is, however, so closely inter-related, with shared professional staff between sites that any disaggregation of key sites as separate organisations would require duplicate finance and staffing and so could well prove less economic than the retention of an integrated organisation. The 141022plan Page 7 of 96 Plan therefore gives no clear answer at this stage, as all of the available options for future governance must be reviewed in the context of the Development phase for the major Heritage Lottery Fund award to the City in 2014. Evaluation of these options will therefore take place over the next twelve to eighteen months during the life of this Strategic Plan. The final part of this first section of the Plan concludes with a review of the background and key tasks with regard to Resilience.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Traveling around Croatia, I was stunned by its beauty. However, I noticed that there were few Chinese tourists in Croatia. How can we bring more Chinese tourists to Croatia? How can we make them happy and comfortable in Croatia? And, at the same time, how can we avoid polluting this tract of pure land? Based on first-hand research work, I make a SWOT analysis of the Chinese tourist source market of Croatia and put forward related countermeasures from the perspective of a native Chinese. The positioning of tourism in Croatia should be ingeniously packaged. I recommend developing diversified and specialized tourist products, various marketing and promotional activities, simple and flexible visa policies and regulations, and other related measures to further explore the Chinese tourist source market of Croatia. KEY WORDS: SWOT analysis, Croatia, Chinese tourist source market, sustainable tourism, direct flight 169 Introduction Vol.XVIII, No. 66 - 2012 Vol.XVIII, XXIII (78) - 2017 I worked in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, for three years. During my stay, I walked almost all around Croatia. I travelled in Dalmatia for two weeks, visiting Zadar, Šibenik, Skradin, Trogir, Split, Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik. I toured Istria for a week, visiting Opatija, Pula, Rovinj and Poreč.

  • Editorial Calendar 2020
    PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF NEEDLEWORK Editorial Calendar 2020 There are stories to be told, and PieceWork readers want to read them. Whether it’s a personal account of a master knitter (“Bertha Mae Shipley: A Navajo Knitter”) or a well-researched article on the embroidery that adorned alms purses (“Charitably Chic: The Eighteenth-Century Alms Purse”), PieceWork is the place to share these stories. People who care about handwork and who value its past and present role in the ongoing human story are PieceWork magazine’s core audience. PieceWork explores the personal stories of traditional makers and what they made and investigates how specific objects were crafted and the stories behind them. In-depth how-to techniques and step-by-step projects make the traditions come alive for today’s knitters, embroiderers, lacemakers, and crocheters. Beginning with the magazine’s inception in 1993, we have explored numerous needlework traditions and needleworkers. We’ve covered the prosaic—mending samplers—and the esoteric—the Pearly Kings and Queens of London. The stories have been poignant—the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire; inspiring—Safe Return Mittens; and entertaining—Rattlesnake Kate. Beginning with the Fall 2018 issue, PieceWork changed frequency from a bimonthly publication to a quarterly. The biggest bonus with this change was the addition of more editorial pages, allowing us to continue and expand upon PieceWork’s unusual blend of the elements behind a handwork tradition—who did it, how it was done, and why. Future issues will include core sections for techniques, including knitting, lace, embroidery, and crochet. Beyond these sections, there will be a wide variety of other needlework techniques.

From the Emigrant Protocols, you may have discovered that one of those destinations was “Lacrosse.” The influence of Norwegian settlement in the LaCrosse area was noted before 1853. By 1856, the Norwegians had already established four churches in the county. As we meet in the La Crosse area this year for the fifth annual Tre Lag Stevne, we will learn more about the im- migrants’ migration across our nation – most using the rivers, roads, rails and trails to eventually reach the site of what would become their new homeland.

    Tight-fitting Clothes in Antiquity and the Renaissance1 Dagmar Drinkler Abstract: A great number of ancient works of art depict figures who wear tight-fitting and strikingly patterned garments, particularly hose. These elastic textiles that cling to the body cannot be reproduced by any of the weaving techniques known to us. And there is no evidence that the textile technique of knitting was already known in antiquity. So the garments must have been made in a different technique. By reproducing samples of textiles it can be demonstrated now that it is possible to make elastic garments in a special kind of plaiting, the so-called sprang technique. All patterns found in depictions of such garments can be reconstructed easily and efficiently. So far sprang has mainly been connected with hairnets and caps. Comparing model and reconstruction proves the practicability of translating the pictorial sources into actual textiles by this technique. Content: The Reconstruction of tight-fitting clothes after models from Greek vase painting and polychrome sculpture / The sprang technique / The Patterns of the tight-fitting hose and their execution in sprang / Producing hose / Sprang in the Renaissance / Striped hose / The shoes worn with the striped hose / Conclusion The Reconstruction of tight-fitting clothes after models from Greek vase painting and polychrome sculpture Fig. 1: Pelike 2351, 440-435 B.C. Munich, Staatliche Antikensammlungen. © Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek München. Photo: Renate Kühling. From the fifth century BC onwards depictions in Greek Art show Greeks in mostly aggressive confrontation with individuals or groups of people, the enemies standing out by their tight- fitting hose or often even “suits” that cover the entire body.
