  • Notes on the Growth of Ipswich Museums, with a Few Diversions"
    IPSWICH GEOLOGICAL GROUP BULLETIN No. 23 June 1982 CONTENTS R. A. D. Markham. "Notes on the Growth of Ipswich Museums, with a few diversions". pages 2-8. D. L. Jones. "Ipswich Museum and its Foundation. A Study in Patronage". pages 9-16. (J. E. Taylor). "The Non-Local Palaeontology Display at Ipswich Museum, 1871". pages 17-20. R. Markham. "A Note on Geology at Ipswich Museum". page 21. Page 1 NOTES ON THE GROWTH OF IPSWICH MUSEUMS, WITH A FEW DIVERSIONS. The Rev. William Kirby, rector of Barham, and natural historian and entomologist, suggested the formation of a Museum in Ipswich as long ago as 1791, but little is known of the result, if any, of this. However, in the 1820s and 1830s, museums appear to have been flourishing. Ipswich Museum was in the Corporation's old Town Hall, in an upper room near the clock, and the Literary Institution and the Mechanics Institution also had 'museums’, as did Mr. Simpson Seaman, an Ipswich natural history dealer. 1846 saw the start of a successful effort to establish a purpose-built Museum in Ipswich: the principal instigator of the plan was Mr. George Ransome of Ipswich. A Committee of Subscribers was formed, and the Committee rented a building (the first brick of which was laid the 1st. March 1847) in the then newly laid-out Museum Street. On the ground floor was the Library, the Secretary's and Curator's Rooms, and Specimen Preparation Rooms. The principal Museum Room was up the staircase. Around this room were mahogany and glass cases for animals and two cases of mahogany and glass table-cases for insects and geological specimens.

  • The Suffolk Institute of Archaeology
    THE SUFFOLKINSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY: ITS LIFE, TIMESANDMEMBERS by STEVENJ. PLUNKETT The one remains —the many change and pass' (Shelley) 1: ROOTS THE SUFFOLKINSTITUTE of Archaeology and History had its birth 150 years ago, in the spring of 1848, under the title of The Bury and West Suffolk Archaeological Institute. It is among the earliest of the County Societies, preceded only by Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire (1844), Norfolk (1846), and the Cambrian, Bedfordshire, Sussex and Buckinghamshire Societies (1847), and contemporary with those of Lancashire and Cheshire. Others, equally successful, followed, and it is a testimony to the social and intellectual timeliness of these foundations that most still flourish and produce Proceedingsdespite a century and a half of changing approaches to the historical and antiquarian materials for the study of which they were created. The immediate impetus to this movement was the formation in December 1843 of the British ArchaeologicalAssociationfor the Encouragementand Preservationof Researchesinto the Arts ancl Monumentsof theEarly and MiddleAges, which in March 1844 produced the first number of the ArchaeologicalJ ournal.The first published members' list, of 1845, shows the members grouped according to the counties in which they lived, indicating the intention that the Association should gather information from, and disseminate discourses into, the counties through a national forum. The thirty-six founding members from Suffolk form an interesting group from a varied social spectrum, including the collector Edward Acton (Grundisburgh), Francis Capper Brooke (Ufford), John Chevallier Cobbold, Sir Thomas Gery Cullum of Hawstead, David Elisha Davy, William Stevenson Fitch, the Ipswich artists Fred Russel and Wat Hagreen, Professor Henslow, Alfred Suckling, Samuel Tyrnms, John Wodderspoon, the Woodbridge geologist William Whincopp, Richard Almack, and the Revd John Mitford (editor of Gentleman'sMagazine).

    /i £\ The Old World Paleolithic and the Development of a National Collection MICHAEL PETRAGLIA and RICHARD POTTS ILLUSTRATIONS BY MARCIA BAKRY SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 48 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement; "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series. Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
