Work Placement 2014-2015 List of Placements Convenors HST681: Work Placement 2014-2015 List of Placements Convenors: Esme Cleall and Tom Leng [email protected] [email protected] 1 Introduction This is a list of placements available for the Work Placement module for the academic year 2014- 15. You have been sent this list because you have indicated you intend to take the module. It is organized by type of placement though you should read through all the descriptions carefully in order to find out exactly what each involves. What happens next? On Tuesday of Intro Week, you will attend a talk on the Work Placement module. Here you will learn a bit more about what it involves. You will also be able to ask questions about specific placements. After that meeting you will submit a form. On this form you will indicate three placements in order of preference. You will also be asked to write a short statement on why you are suitable for your first choice (and the others if you wish). Please note that it is not always possible to allocate students their first choice of placement. Once all the forms have been submitted you will be allocated a placement. We intend to do this by the end of Intro week. Please do not contact placement partners until you have received confirmation from Tom Leng/Esme Cleall that you can do so. It is possible for you to undertake a placement with a partner not on this list if you already have a partner in mind. However, it is very important that the convenors are in touch with the placement partner to ensure it fits with the module aims and objectives. If you wish to suggest a placement partner to a convenor please get in touch with Tom Leng as soon as possible and before Tuesday 23rd September 2014. 2 List of Placements Museums and Galleries: Newark Civil War Centre [2 placements] Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust Bank St Arts Centre [2 placements] Turner Museum of Glass, University of Sheffield [2 placements] Peak District Lead Mining Museum Historical and heritage sites: Chatsworth House [2 placements] Archives and Libraries: Sheffield University Library Archives and Special Collections The Montgomery Theatre Derby City Council: Local Studies and Family History Library Public History, Community & Industry Engagement: Friends of Sheffield Castle Henderson’s Ltd 320 rue St Jacques: The Diary of Madeleine Blaess (University of Sheffield) Global Cotton Connections project and Department of History (University of Sheffield Department of History/University of Nottingham Department of Geography) Schools: Yewlands Technology College Dobcroft Primary 3 National Civil War Centre, Newark Museum (2 placements) The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) is supporting Newark and Sherwood District Council’s plans to develop the Old Magnus Buildings into a new museum and civil war centre to showcase the district’s pivotal role in the English Civil War (1642-1646). The project - which totals £5.4m - will transform the Grade II* listed former school buildings on Appletongate, Newark into a nationally-recognised centre for learning about the conflict. Working with architects Purcell, development work is anticipated to take two years. The museum is due to open in September 2014 with an exhibition commemorating the centenary of World War I. These placements would involved working with the Collections team to research and contextualise some of the key objects in the new National Civil War Museum offer. Firstly, the Museum Service has a nationally significant 1646 Royalist Siege Plan of Newark, and one placement would involve a comparative study between this plan and the Parliamentarian equivalent Clampe plan, looking at and analysing similarities and differences whilst also contextualising the plan within the broader surviving plans from the Civil Wars. Secondly, the collections have a number of Civil War Tracts, there is a need for the Museum Service to have the knowledge base around these items built up, so looking at printing nationally, exploring the centres of printing, looking at the gender split in the area of printing, methods of circulation, contemporary views to printing and propaganda. Thirdly, there is a large group of locally minted civil war siege coins within the collections, locally minted money occurred in other areas such as Pontefract, Scarborough and Carlisle a body of research examining these other areas and comparing and contrasting the coin production, scale and design would be very useful to the service. This will involve c 4 visits to the museum. Please note train or car travel to Newark will be involved. 4 Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust / Kelham Island Museum Kelham Island Museum was opened in 1982 to house the objects, pictures and archive material representing Sheffield's industrial story. This year’s placement will be on the topic of ‘Women at Work’. It will support research for the creation of additional storylines and display material to update and add to the story of women workers in the city’s industries. Research will focus on women workers during the 1800s and 1900s and will use the museum’s collections of objects, archives and photographs to identify and draft stories. 5 Bank Street Arts (2-3 placements) Bank Street Arts in Sheffield City Centre is an innovative cross-disciplinary Arts Centre. Now in its 5th year, Bank Street Arts is a self-funded Arts Centre that provides a home, venue and setting for a wide range of creative individuals and organizations, housing some of the best new art, writing and culture from across the region and throughout the UK. A History project, run with Karen Harvey (Department of History, University of Sheffield) was started in 2011, which aims to place the building and its immediate environment in their historical context (see http://bankstreetarts.com/people/residencies/dr-karen-harvey/ for more details). These placements build upon that project. The first placement will engage in archiving and cataloguing Deeds and other documents held by Bank Street Arts relating to the history of the building and its site. These documents will need photographing, cataloguing and labelling. Instruction can be offered in the use of digital photography, Photoshop and In Design, for those requiring it. There is also an opening for a further one/two placements which will consider the history of Bank Street in the Victorian Age. These placements will research the residents of Bank Street, using Census Returns, Rate Books, Trade Directories and other materials to plot changes in occupation in given buildings over time. This information will be entered into a database. The aim of the placements is to build a picture of what the street was like and how it was used and occupied in Victorian times and more specifically to know who lived and worked where (the street contained important Sheffield businesses and historical figures) and allow us to be more certain about the inhabitants of our own buildings. 6 Turner Museum of Glass, University of Sheffield (2 placements) The Turner Museum of Glass is one of the UK's most interesting and comprehensive collections of nineteenth and twentieth century glass. From drinking glasses to contemporary installations the Museum celebrates the skill and artistry of glassmakers. Pieces by all the major European and American glassmakers are on display and the collection is unrivalled in its display of work from the 1920s to the 1950s. Plans are currently being made to redisplay some parts of the collection and to enhance the displays with historical research. Placement one Discover all you can about The glass artist Frederick Carder. Although much of his work was undertaken in America, his origins were in England. The Turner Museum of Glass (in Sheffield) contains some of his work. We envisage as the final goal of the project the creation of an A4 sheet providing extra information for museum visitors (perhaps with pictures) on Carder and the firms he worked for. Placement two Research an article on the history of spectacle lenses for publication in the magazine "Glass International" (limit 800 words). The article should include a time line explaining the evolution of lenses and designs and should also provide information on production methods for a technical audience. If time permits this may also be developed as part of an audiovisual display in the museum. 7 Peak District Lead Mining Museum The Peak District Lead Mining Museum is based in Matlock Bath. It hosts thousands of objects representing the lost lead mining industry of the Peak District. The collection is centred on the internationally important Wills Founder Water Pressure Engine, which was built in Coalbrookdale in 1819, a major feat of engineering which used the pressure created by falling water to pump water from deep underground. The Museum also contains numerous objects relating to the history of lead mining, a major collection of mineral specimens, and specially built climbing and crawling tunnels which convey the experience of lead mining to visitors of all ages. For more information on the Museum, please visit: http://www.peakdistrictleadminingmuseum.co.uk/ There are numerous possible opportunities for placements in this Museum, which could involve interpretation of its vast collection, updating exhibits, or the creation of learning resources for children. The placement will require some travel to Matlock Bath, which is linked to Sheffield by an hourly bus journey. 8 Sheffield Manor Lodge (3 placements) About Sheffield Manor Lodge Sheffield Manor Lodge comprises a 14 hectare site which includes: 1) a scheduled ancient monument (the remains of a significant Tudor mansion where Mary Queen of Scots was held during her captivity in the 1570s); 2) Gardens, Park land and a working landscape including large scale Pictorial Meadows; 3) Manor Oaks (incl. Rhubarb Shed Café); 4) Manor Cottages (1940s- living history centre – launching Spring 2014); 5) Yorkshire Artspace Manor Oaks Studios and 6) The Bramall Centre incorporating the Community History Resource Room.

  • Are You Looking for Something Fun and Exciting to Do Over the Spring Half Term Holidays?
    Spring 2018 Easter 2015 Are you looking for something fun and exciting to do over the Spring half term holidays? There are lots of fun and exciting activities taking place outside of normal school hours in different places across Sheffield and beyond where children and young people can collect learning credits. These credits will be added to the ones some children collect in some schools to earn Children’s University Awards. To collect these credits, they need a Passport to Learning. These are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. Remember, the credits lead to a series of 30 special award certificates and badges. …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours! Do you have your Children’s University Passport to Learning yet? If the answer is yes, then that’s great news! BUT, to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits. It might be that their staff are really busy and they’ve forgotten, or they might be new to the organisation and have simply forgotten that we need the register. So, every time you visit a SHEFFIELD Learning Destination, remind them to keep a register AND send it into us! Remember, if there’s no register, it means no credits! They can always contact us for help and we can visit them to explain the process if we need to.
