  • Dementia Toolkit for Small Museums

    Dementia Toolkit for Small Museums

    Dementia Toolkit 1 The best thing for being sad, is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn. -T.H White, The Once and Future King 2 Introduction The first thing to say about this toolkit is that it is… well, a toolkit. It is not intended as an evaluation, or as a simple exercise in sharing best practice. This toolkit has been written to help small museums design their own wellbeing programmes, and is based on a project undertaken with that same thought in mind. It is hoped that by reading and digesting the information contained here you will gain a better understanding not only of how to undertake initiatives like this yourself, but of the important role museums play in the mental health and wellbeing of their communities. In recent times, this much discussed role has frequently been explored, with very well funded projects around the UK.

    National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain List of Sample Clusters

    NATIONAL SAMPLE FROM THE 1851 CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN LIST OF SAMPLE CLUSTERS The listing is arranged in four columns, and is listed in cluster code order, but other orderings are available. The first column gives the county code; this code corresponds with the county code used in the standardised version of the data. An index of the county codes forms Appendix 1 The second column gives the cluster type. These cluster types correspond with the stratification parameter used in sampling and have been listed in Background Paper II. Their definitions are as follows: 11 English category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 12 Scottish category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 21 Category IIA and VI 'Towns' and Municipal Boroughs 26 Category IIB Parliamentary Boroughs 31 Category III 'Large non-urban communities' 41 Category IV Residual 'non-urban' areas 51 Category VII Unallocable 'urban' areas 91 Category IX Institutions The third column gives the cluster code numbers. This corresponds to the computing data set name, except that in the computing data set names the code number is preceded by the letters PAR (e.g. PAR0601). The fourth column gives the name of the cluster community. It should be noted that, with the exception of clusters coded 11,12 and 91, the cluster unit is the enumeration district and not the whole community. Clusters coded 11 and 12, however, correspond to total 'communities' (see Background Paper II). Clusters coded 91 comprise twenty successive individuals in every thousand, from a list of all inmates of institutions concatenated into a continuous sampling frame; except that 'families' are not broken, and where the twenty individuals come from more than one institution, each institution forms a separate cluster.

  • The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops

    The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops

    Julian Stair The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops Among professional artists there is … a vague idea that a man can still remain a gentleman if he paints bad pictures, but must forfeit the conven- tional right to his Esquire if he makes good pots or serviceable furniture., Pottery design in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century was consid- ered to be in a perilous state, caught between the tail end of the Arts and Crafts movement – the ‘unornamental “ornaments” with which thoughtless people crowd their living rooms’* – and the unchecked might, or ‘decadence’,- of Stoke-on-Trent.. Christopher Dresser’s striking ceramic designs for Minton and the Linthorpe Art Pottery in the ,//0s had rarely escaped a stifling his- toricism; William de Morgan finally gave up potting to write novels in ,10+; and only a few small independent firms such as the Ruskin Pottery, which specialised in flamboyantly glazed vases in imitation of late Chinese porcelain, continued production (fig. ,., p. */). Despite the success of the Arts and Crafts movement in revitalising handicraft, pottery did not enjoy the success of other disciplines. As Alan Crawford writes, ‘pottery and weaving … before the war had been somehow less spectacular than the movement’s furniture and metalwork’.2 Although capable of embodying the immediacy of handwork, the transformation of the artist-craftsman’s sensibility into clay proved elusive. In this context, why did Roger Fry encourage the Omega Workshops to venture into the unfashionable and technically challenging
