  • Collections Skills Initiative 2012/2013
    Collections Skills Initiative 2012/2013 Rebecca Gordon From as far back as I can remember, I have always had a keen interest in both local and world history. This resulted in a love of visiting museums. After completing a degree in Modern History, I decided to enrol in a Masters in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies. At the same time, I volunteered to work in both the history department at the Ulster Coaches: Museum and at Down County museum, in order to gain practical experience in a museum. Shirin Murphy and Jayne Clarke Whilst volunteering, I became aware of the Collections Skills Initiative and I was eager to secure a place to acquire skills in collections care and exhibition design. My placement was at Mid-Antrim museum, Ballymena but I also worked across the sites at Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus. A considerable amount of my time was taken up with conducting a collections audit and condition survey of over 200 artefacts from 1914-1916. It was my task to ensure they were all fully documented on MODES. I began at my computer then visited our three sites. I completed object entry forms, applied accession numbers and identified their location in storage. With all this information updated, I produced a report for the ‘On the Brink’ project team and made recommendations on which artefacts should be used in forthcoming exhibitions. Working closely with other staff, I helped to set up three exhibitions entitled ‘Titanic: Honour and Glory’ ‘Megaliths of Northern Ireland’ and ‘The Project of Plantation’. Here I gained various skills, including label writing, object handling and placement and display design.

  • Survey of Visitor Attractions
    visitor attractions survey 2008 northern ireland measure performance during 2008 1 nitb.com/research Tourism is playing an increasingly important role in the economy of Northern Ireland as the destination becomes increasingly attractive to visitors. Government has recognised tourism as a key driver of the future of the Northern Ireland economy and has allocation significant additional investment. This report details the performance of those 164 visitor attractions that participated in the 2008 Visitor Attraction Survey. In 2008, nearly 10 million visits to attractions were recorded from those that took part in the survey. This report details the visits to attractions by type of attraction, visitor profile, seasonality, revenue and employment and makes comparisons with the corresponding 2007 figures. It should be noted that this survey is a voluntary survey and not all visitor attractions respond to the survey. The data presented in this report are given in good faith on the basis of the information provided by proprietors of the attractions. contents summary .................................. 1 introduction .............................. 2 type of attraction ....................... 3 visitor numbers .......................... 6 top attractions ........................... 8 visitor profile ........................... 10 seasonality .............................. 12 revenue ................................. 13 employment ............................ 14 appendix 1 - research method ...... 15 appendix 2 - visitor attraction tables 2004-2008

  • Progress Update Report – November 2019
    Statement of Progress Progress Update Report – November 2019 August 2019 1 Programme Progress Report for Strategic Growth Partnership 2 Action Leads Context: In order to progress achievement of the shared outcomes identified in the Strategic Growth Plan (Community Plan) Outcome Delivery Plans have been agreed and taken forward by community planning partners. The Outcome Delivery Plans are live and evolving documents, subject to ongoing review, and will be performance managed through the identification and monitoring of performance level measures. In order to assist in management of these plans, it has been agreed to identify a partner organisation to undertake the role of ‘Action Lead’ for each individual action. Role of Action Lead: An ‘Action Lead’ does not and, indeed, could not have sole responsibility for achievement of an action. Community planning actions, by their nature, will depend on the active contribution of a number of partners to ensure their successful delivery. An Action Lead will, however, have a significant interest in ensuring the success of the related community planning action which is highly likely to be closely linked to the remit of their own organisation. The nature of the role will, primarily, relate to co-ordinating and reporting. Key Responsibilities: 1. Co-ordinate the contributions of identified partners to define and agree the performance accountability scorecard for each action, including agreeing performance measures and the involvement of each identified partner towards the action 2. Report to the Community Planning Partnership on progress using the identified performance measures 3. Where appropriate, ensure obligations in relation to statutory processes are undertaken, e.g., rural proofing.
