The Director of the National Library serves as a Trustee ex officio. All other Trustees E S are co-opted. The Trustees elect the Chair. Since 1997 the Trustees of the Library are appointed T E or co-opted to serve five-year terms and may serve a maximum of two consecutive five year R terms. B E A Trustees do not receive any remuneration, aside from modest receipted expenses incurred, while T carrying out their duties. All expenses are paid in accordance with the guidelines and rules set down T Y by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. L I B THE TRUSTEES OF THE LIBRARY ARE CURRENTLY: R A Dr T. P. Hardiman (appointed 1991, elected Chairman 1998) R Y Sir Marc Cochrane (appointed 1988) Dr Dermot Desmond (appointed 1991) Dr Patricia Donlon (appointed 2011) Ministerial appointee Dr Declan Downey (appointed 2012) Ministerial appointee Mrs Joan Duff (appointed 1983, retired December 2013) Ms Catherine Fahy (appointed March 2014; ex officio ) Professor Brian McGing (appointed September 2013) Taoiseach’s appointee Mr Eamonn Ceannt (appointed December 2013) Ministerial appointee Professor Kathleen James-Chakraborty (appointed 2010) Professor Roger Stalley (appointed 1993) Presidential appointee 3 R p e o r Director’s Report t o f t Chester Beatty’s collections lie at the heart of all we do here in the Chester Beatty Library. h e When Beatty came to Ireland, he immediately set about building his own dedicated library T r where the treasures he had assembled over a lifetime could be accessed, first by academics and u s friends and, later, by the public. His commitment to shared knowledge and accessibility t e e continues to inform the Library’s mission and strategy today. s C Visitor numbers to the Library increased to over 300,000 in 2014; moreover, their comments H E and reviews indicate an overwhelmingly high rate of visitor satisfaction. Their positive S T feedback is a source of pride for staff – front of house, and behind the scenes – who work E diligently to present and interpret Chester Beatty’s collections for our many different R B audiences. The high visitor satisfaction rates also encourage us in reaching out to potential new E visitors both at home and internationally. A T T The rise in visitor numbers may also reflect the wide appeal of ‘Chester Beatty’s A to Z’, our Y temporary exhibition of 2014. The simple and familiar format of the alphabet allowed us to tell L I a number of unfamiliar and sometimes complex stories using works from the permanent B R collections. It also offered an opportunity to explore related themes across the different A R collections: Western, Islamic and East Asian. Y This dialogue between collections or between cultures is very important to the Chester Beatty and is carried through our intercultural learning programmes. Indeed, it comprises a very special part of our contribution to cultural life in Ireland, and internationally. The seminar, Museums as Places for Intercultural Dialogue and Learning , organised by the Library’s Education Department, represented a milestone in museum education in Ireland by addressing the role of museums in negotiating national identity. As Director of the Chester Beatty, I had the honour of taking over the Chair of the Asia Europe Museum Association in October. The activities of this strong network, which grew out of the Asia Europe Meetings, are a good example of the potential of museums to contribute to wider 4 R p e o aspirations. By focussing on world heritage, museums like the Chester Beatty can directly r t impact intercultural understanding at a global level. o f t h Funding and staffing issues continue to challenge the Library in its operations and future e plans. We acknowledge the grant-in-aid from the Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht, T r together with the support of our colleagues within the Department. I also want to thank the u s t many foundations, corporate and private donors who continue to support our work, and share e e in our passion for the institution. The Office of Public Works has continued its valuable and s C practical support of our services and building. H E S Among the highlights of the year was being awarded full accreditation by the Heritage T Council’s Museum Standards Programme for Ireland, a significant achievement for the Library; E R the 2014 annual lecture by Dr Tarif Khalidi on Ireland and the Irish in Medieval and B Contemporary Arab texts ; and not forgetting the memorable visit of Omar Sharif at the Library’s E A screening of Lawrence of Arabia as part of the first Dublin Arabic Film Festival. T T Y Finally, on behalf of the Trustees and all staff of the Library, I wish to express our deep L appreciation to Mrs Joan Duff who retired from the Board of Trustees after thirty years.

This has been a hugely E R positive achievement and a celebration to thank all staff for their part in the process was held B at the Library that evening. E A T The following excerpt from the external assessor’s report was read out at the presentation: T Y “The application submitted for Full Accreditation was an accurate reflection of the exceptionally L high standard of operation of this museum and throughout the site visit we were impressed with the I B professional approach adopted. Chester Beatty Library is clearly motivated by its desire to expand R A and improve its service to the public by making the collections available in the most appropriate R way. In establishing a clear strategy for the care and use of the collections the museum maintains a Y very high standing as an internationally important collection”. All policies across the Library are reviewed on an annual basis by the Collections Management Team to ensure maintenance of accreditation. Preservation of the Collections With activities focused on the preparation of objects for loan and the rotation of the permanent and temporary exhibition galleries a total of 480 items from across the collections were conserved, including over 120 objects for the Chester Beatty’s A to Z temporary exhibition. Conservation projects also continued on the Persian and Indian miniature and the Western print collections. 7 R p e o Condition survey of the Collections r t o f Condition surveys for key elements of the collections were carried out: these focused on t Japanese lacquer, Burmese and non-Mughal Indian manuscripts, Chinese textiles and the h e Hebrew manuscript collection. In all, over 350 objects were examined. T r u s t Conservation support staff e e The conservation internship programme continued, thanks to the generous support of the s C Heritage Council and the Library’s Contributing Members. Two internships were completed by H E Josefin Bergmark-Jiménez (twelve months) and Elisabeth Randell (nine months), while Puneeta S T Sharma started her twelve month internship in November. Student Bevan O’Daly undertook a E conservation work placement (10 –14 November) and assisted with the condition survey of the R B Chinese textile collection. E A T Emergency Response Plan (ERP) T Y As part of the Library’s sustained focus on the Emergency Response Plan, staff training L I workshops were held at the Library on Integrated Pest Management provided by Dr Martyn B R Linnie, Trinity College Dublin (29 October) and Manual Handling provided by OPW Health & A Safety Services (18 November).

  • However Students May Use Their Own Transport Tickets Where Valid
    The Linguaviva Centre Ltd. Social and Activity Programme July and August 2015 Some things to keep in mind: 1. Some of the social and outdoor sport activities may be changed nearer the time as these activities are weather dependent. Prices subject to change. 2. Spaces are limited students who would like to join activities should sign up and pay for excursions as early in the week as possible. For the weekend activities students MUST sign up by the previous Wednesday at morning break. This is crucial for the organisation of the activities. It is also very important for students to be on time for all activities. 3. Meeting points and times will be stated on the excursion board each Monday morning. Sign up sheets are located in the office. 4. In the case of ‘pub outings’ students must be at least 21 and have valid I.D. in order to join. We cannot be held responsible if entry is refused. Neat dress is essential e.g. no running shoes or hoodies. 5. The prices listed for weekday activities are for entrance fees only . Transportation costs are not included, however students may use their own transport tickets where valid. 6. Students who do not want to join the listed activities are welcome to watch a movie in the ‘student cinema’ in the afternoons. Movies will be shown every weekday afternoon starting at 14.00. 7.

  • National Gallery of Ireland Annual Report 2015
    National Gallery of Ireland Annual Report 2015 National Gallery of Ireland The National Gallery of Ireland was founded by an Act of Parliament in 1854 and opened to the public in 1864. It is home to over 16,300 works of art, complemented by the National Portrait Collection, as well as research facilities dedicated to the study of Irish art. The collection ranges in date from the fourteenth century to the present day comprising paintings, sculpture and works on paper spanning the history of Western European art, from Renaissance masters Fra Angelico and Paolo Uccello to Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso. The Gallery’s most prominent holdings relate to the Irish collection with works by Nathaniel Hone, Thomas Roberts, Daniel Maclise, Roderic O’Conor, William Orpen, John Lavery, Louis le Brocquy, among others. Particularly popular are the works of William Leech, Paul Henry and Jack B. Yeats, whose extensive archive is housed at the Gallery. More recently the Gallery has significantly enhanced its research facilities with the opening of the Sir Denis Mahon Reading Room. The permanent collection is free to the public and the Gallery welcomes large numbers of Irish and overseas visitors each year. Four wings of the Gallery, built between 1864 and 2002, accommodate a growing collection. As part of the Master Development Plan (MDP) a major refurbishment project of the Dargan and Milltown wings on Merrion Square is currently underway and scheduled to reopen with a new presentation of the collection in 2017. An additional wing to the Gallery is planned for the coming years. This final phase will conclude a decade-long process of essential improvement and modernisation of the National Gallery of Ireland for staff and visitors alike.

Hardiman Sir Marc Cochrane Dr Kate Coleman Moriarty Mr Dermot Desmond Mrs Joan Duff Professor Seán Freyne Ms Elizabeth Maguire Mrs Louise O'Mahony (from April 2004) Mrs Madeleine O'Sullivan Ms Nóirín Slattery (to March 2004) Professor Roger Stalley 2 Annual Report OVERVIEW The year 2004 was a very busy one with preparations for the programme to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Library's opening to the public in 1954. President Mary McAleese graciously consented to be the Patron of the 50th Anniversary year. In 1954, the Library was open only for a couple of afternoons a week and visitor numbers were very modest. Today, the institution has been transformed by the move to its new home and received 165,000 visitors during the course of the year. The 50th Anniversary programme contained a varied series of lectures, exhibitions, conferences and other events. Of particular importance were the lectures on the various collections by the curators - Mr Horton, Dr Pollard and Dr Wright. The lectures were very well received. Dr Wright organised an important and highly successful scholarly conference on Islamic metalwork in association with the exhibition Persian Steel which she curated. The proceedings of the conference will be published in due course by Wordwell Limited. Persian Steel showed the collection of the distinguished Iranian artist, Parviz Tanavoli. It was opened by the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, Mr John O'Donoghue, T.D., on 6 June 2004.

  • Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (Time Shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016
    Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (time shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016 Course overview: This course emphasizes the relationship between Irish theatre and the culture: that is, between theatre and other arts, between theatre and histori-political events, etc. The course will be taught in conjunction with THR 471.1: Irish Theatre and Drama. Since all students enrolled for one course must also enroll for the other, there may be some trade- offs of time between the two courses. This half of the sequence is primarily experiential, i.e. centered primarily on the fact of being in Ireland. While there is a clear academic intent to the course, the emphasis is on the act of engaging with Irish culture rather than on the articulation of that engagement. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing or above; ENG 132 and THR 162 with grades of C or better, or permission of instructor. Concurrent registration in THR 471.1. Course fees as determined by the Office of International Studies and Programs. Contacting me: Office: 217 Fine Arts, ext. 1290 (department office is room 212, ext. 4003). I will be available immediately following class every day, and by appointment. In Ireland, of course, other arrangements can/will be made. My cell phone # will be distributed in class (emergencies only while abroad, please). E-mail: My SFA e-mail address is [email protected]. This is my preferred means of contact (while in the US). I check e-mail at least three times a day. I do receive literally dozens of e-mail messages each day: please include the prefix “471” (e.g., “471: problems with paper”) in the subject line of all messages so I’ll recognize you immediately as a student in this class.
