  • 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.

  • Walter Marshall – Rural Policeman
    Walter Marshall – Rural Policeman Family Background The 1881 census records Walter Marshall as having been born in 1857 in Oaken Clough, Bleasedale, a small and scattered community on the edge of the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire. An important source of employment in the area was a paper mill and he initially followed his father, John, and older brother, Albert, in to the mill, where the 1871 census records his occupation as paper bag maker. He was still working at this mill when, at the age of 20, he married Harriet Sanderson at St John the Evangelist, Calderdale in May 1877 Very soon after their first child Ellen was born, in January 1879 Walter joined the Lancashire Constabulary in Preston. It is possible that Harriet stayed in Calderdale as their second child, John was also born there in the first quarter of 1879. Police Career There is an extensive archive for the Lancashire Constabulary held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston. The Police Examinations Books show that Walter Marshall joined the Lancashire Constabulary on 1st January 1879 and was issued with the warrant number 7540. On the 24th January he was attached to Ormskirk Division, serving with this division for the rest of his police career (1879-19??) Walter Marshall's personal details were recorded on Ist January 1879 as follows: Age: 22 last April Height: 5' 8 1/4” Complexion: Fair Eyes: Grey Hair: Brown Particular Marks: None Where born: Oakenclough, Garstang Trade or Calling: Paper maker Married, 1 child. Unfortunately there is no photograph Between 1879 and 1885 Walter Marshall advanced steadily within the rank of constable, being promoted to Class of Merit in April 1884 and 1st Rate in April 1885.
