  • The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective

    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective

    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: An International Perspective Peter Morris Abstract: How has chemistry been presented at the Science Museum, London, during the 20 th century? After an overview of the history of the Science Muse- um and its chemistry galleries, four galleries are considered in depth (1906, 1926, 1977, and 1999). The importance of the curators’ external constituency of chemists and chemical educators is emphasized. The image of chemistry at the Science Museum has concentrated on the general utility of chemistry and chemistry as a skilful craft. The presentation has been low-key rather than boosterist. A comparison is made with the chemistry galleries at the Deutsches Museum. Chemistry in the Deutsches Museum has put more emphasis on hands-on exhibits and the chemical industry. Science and technology museums have promoted chemistry in a quiet but successful way for many years, but their influence may have waned along with chemistry kits. Keywords : presentation of chemistry in museums, chemistry collections, chemistry galleries, Science Museum, Deutsches Museum . 1. Introduction Before we examine the image of chemistry that has been presented by the Science Museum during the 20th century, it is worth asking if science and technology museums have any influence on the public’s perception of chem- istry. While the impact of museums is inevitably less than, say, the mass me- dia, they do attract large audiences: the Science Museum had 1.2 million visi- tors in the 1930s, a peak of 4.2 million visitors in 1980 and 2.6 million visitors in 2004.
  • The Diffusion of Newcomen Engines, 1706-73: a Reassessment*

    The Diffusion of Newcomen Engines, 1706-73: a Reassessment*

    1 The Diffusion of Newcomen Engines, 1706-73: A Reassessment* By Harry Kitsikopoulos Abstract The present paper attempts to quantify the diffusion of Newcomen engines in the British economy prior to the commercial application of the first Watt engine. It begins by pointing out omissions and discrepancies between the original Kanefsky database and the secondary literature leading to a number of revisions of the former. The diffusion path is subsequently drawn in terms of adopted horsepower and adjusted for the proportion of the latter being in use throughout the period. This methodology differs from previous studies which quantify diffusion based on the number of steam engines and do not take into account those falling out of use. The results are presented in terms of aggregate, sectoral, and regional patterns of diffusion. Finally, following a long held methodology of the literature on technological diffusion, the paper weighs the number of engines installed by the end of the period in relation to the potential range of adopters. In the end, this method generates a less celebratory assessment regarding the pace of diffusion of Newcomen engines. *The author wishes to thank Alessandro Nuvolari for providing access to the Kanefsky database. Two summer fellowships from the NEH/Folger Institute and Dibner Library (Smithsonian), whose staff was exceptionally helpful (especially Bill Baxter and Ron Brashear), allowed me to draw heavily material from the collection of rare books of the latter. Two graduate students, Lawrence Costa and Michel Dilmanian, proved to be superb research assistants by handling the revisions made by the author to the database, coming up with the graphs, and running the tests involved in the third appendix of the paper as well as writing it.

Introduction Efforts to build IWM’s reputation as a research organisation continued apace in 2012, with several promising developments. The start of the year saw the beginning of the first IWM project to be wholly funded by a grant from AHRC, following IWM’s achievement of Independent Research Organisation (IRO) status. Whose Remembrance? was a scoping study which set out to investigate levels of awareness of the experiences of the peoples of Britain’s former empire in the two world wars. Its scope and achievements are detailed in the section on ‘successful funding bids’ below. Led by the Research Department, the project – funded under the Connected Communities scheme – addressed a particularly pressing issue and produced lively and engaging workshops during the summer of 2012. The year saw continued effort on Research across IWM. Staff generated over 20 publications and gave presentations at more than 50 workshops, conferences and symposia during the year, in addition to providing advice, expertise and media appearances across a wide range of subjects.

The Newcomen Society of the United States is a nonprofit membership corporation chartered in 1961 in the State ofMaine, with headquarters at412 Newcomen Road, Exton, Pennsylvania 19341, located 30 miles west of Center City, Philadelphia. Meetings are held throughout the United States, where Newcomei:t addresses are presented by organizational leaders in their respective fields. Most Newcomen presentations feature anecdotal life stories ofcorporate organizations, interpreted through the ambitions, successes, struggles and ultimate achievements of pioneers whose efforts helped build the foundations of their enterprises. The Society's name perpetuates the life and work of Thomas Newcomen (1663-1729), the British pioneer whose valuable improvements to the newly invented steam engine in Staffordshire, England brought him lasting fame in the field of the Mechanical Arts. The N ewcomen Engines, in use from 1712 to 1775, helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution.
