IWM Digital Resource for Volunteers
IWM Digital Resource for Volunteers An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by: Linda Baker Shintaro Clanton Andrew Gregory Rachel Plante Project advisors: VJ Manzo Jianyu Liang June 23, 2016 This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT The Interaction Volunteers at Imperial War Museums London engage with visitors in the exhibits and discuss about certain artifacts. The communication of information among the Interaction Volunteer team, however, has been inefficient as the system relied on paper resources. Our IQP team surveyed volunteers and conducted a focus group to gather input about layout and features for a potential digital resource which the Interaction Volunteers could use in management of artifactual content and digital forms. This information was then used to design a website utilizing a content management system in order to make the communication of information more simple and efficient for the Interaction Volunteer team. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our team would like to thank our advisors, Professors V.J. Manzo and Jianyu Liang, for their continued support and guidance in completing this project. We would especially like to thank Mr. Grant Rogers, Informal Learning and Engagement Manager at Imperial War Museums London, for sponsoring and providing insight for our project and for sharing his enthusiasm for the museum. In addition, we would like to extend our gratitude to the Learning and Engagement Department and Digital Design Department at Imperial War Museums London, for providing us the resources we needed to complete our project, and to the Volunteer Program at Imperial War Museums London for their advice and participation in our project. -

Lambeth Bridge and the Location of the Southbound Bus Stop on Lambeth Palace Road Has Been Moved Back to Its Existing Location
Appendix B: Likely journey time impacts following changes to the design post consultation Summary of changes from 2017 consultation Following consultation feedback in 2017 several turning movements have now been retained eastbound onto Lambeth Bridge and the location of the southbound bus stop on Lambeth Palace Road has been moved back to its existing location. The following turning movements are now allowed at all times of day for all vehicles: Millbank North to Lambeth Bridge and Millbank South to Lambeth Bridge. The shared pedestrian and cycle areas have been reviewed and removed where it is safe for cyclists to use the carriageway. Shared use remains between Millbank South and Horseferry Road. There is also a carriageway level cycle lane through the footway between Millbank North and Lambeth Bridge. These alterations to the design in response to consultation feedback have resulted in some changes to the modelled journey times. Please note journey times are not directly comparable to the 2017 consultation. This is due to the modelled area being extended to ensure all journey times changes are captured by the modelling assessment. The tables below compare future modelled journey times with and without the Lambeth Bridge scheme. Both models include demand changes associated with committed developments and population growth, and planned changes to the road network. This allows us to isolate other changes on the network and present the predicted impact of the Lambeth Bridge scheme. 39 Revised Journey Times: Buses Future Journey Time without -
Women's Voluntary Organizations in World War I
Women’s Voluntary Organizations in World War I Dr Jacqueline de Vries, Ausburg College, Minneapolis The outpouring of voluntary service by Britain’s women during World War I was extraordinary, especially when seen from the vantage point of the contemporary western world in which we leave the particulars of war to the paid professionals. Our militaries have developed their capabilities to the point where volunteer help is rarely, if ever, needed. In contrast to our own contemporary situation, the flood of volunteers in 1914 to help with the war effort was immediate and necessary. Just hours after the official war declaration, social and civic organizations all across the land offered to help. Within days, dozens of new organizations appeared to fill the many gaps in the mobilization process. The Women at Work Collection in the Imperial War Museum offers researchers an abundance of materials on women’s volunteer organizations and philanthropic activities during the war. While the sections on Belgium (1-16) and Benevolent Organisations (1-8) contain the most concentrated collection of materials, other relevant documents are scattered throughout. One might also wish to explore the materials relating to women’s voluntary medical service in the sections on the British Red Cross (1-27), their efforts to maintain a healthy and well-fed home front in the section on Food (1-6), Land (1-9) and Local Records (1-460), as well as their voluntary military service, chronicled in the section on Munitions (I-VII). The very act of preserving documents for the Women at Work Collection is evidence of the critical role of women’s voluntarism during World War I. -

"Keeping Things Shipshape", Conservation Management on HMS
‘Keeping Things Shipshape’ Conservation Management on HMS Belfast MA Museum Studies 2013 Amy Foulds Abstract Amy Foulds Word Count: 12, 770 ‘Keeping Things Shipshape’: Conservation Management on HMS Belfast This study aims to highlight the difficulties of conserving historic ships when they are required to function as an accessible museum as well as officially being an accessioned museum object, and how these difficulties can be successfully managed. By framing the assessment of HMS Belfast’s conservation management plan in the wider debate surrounding large object conservation and the levels of restoration rather than preservation that have been considered acceptable in the past, the key shift in attitude to a more ethical, museum-focused approach can be better appreciated. Through interviews with staff and volunteers directly involved in the conservation process, an idea of how the ship’s Conservation Policy was created and how it can be implemented to ensure the preservation of the ship’s original fabric and key historic significance can be gained. Once the contents of the policy and how they affect conservation planning in theory are understood, the impact of providing access and interpretation to visitors, limited resources and external environmental factors is considered, along with the various techniques employed in managing them utilising policy frameworks to ensure minimum destruction of historical evidence. Through contact with other museum ships, benchmarks to assess success can be established, with favourable comparisons being drawn internationally. Finally, there are suggestions for improvements and opportunities for the future, both for HMS Belfast and other historic vessels. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "#$%&'()*+),)%-.! ! Firstly I would like to show my appreciation to my Dissertation Supervisor, Dieter Hopkin, and the Museum Studies Department at the University of Leicester for all of their advice and guidance during the completion of this project. -
