  • The Unpublished Journal of Gideon Mantell 1819 – 1852
    The Unpublished Journal of Gideon Mantell 1819 – 1852 Edited with an introduction by John A. Cooper © 2010 The Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove UK 1 The Unpublished Journal of Gideon Mantell: 1819 – 1852 Introduction Historians of English society of the early 19th century, particularly those interested in the history of science, will be familiar with the journal of Gideon Algernon Mantell (1790-1852). Whilst not kept on a daily basis, Mantell’s journal, kept from 1818, offers valuable insights into not only his own remarkable life and work, but through his comments on a huge range of issues and personalities, contributes much to our understanding of contemporary science and society. Gideon Mantell died in 1852. All of his extensive archives passed first to his son Reginald and on his death, to his younger son Walter who in 1840 had emigrated to New Zealand. These papers together with Walter’s own library and papers were donated to the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand in 1927 by his daughter-in- law. At some time after that, a typescript was produced of the entire 4-volume manuscript journal and it is this typescript which has been the principal reference point for subsequent workers. In particular, an original copy was lodged with the Sussex Archaeological Society in Lewes, Sussex. In 1940, E. Cecil Curwen published his abridged version of Gideon Mantell’s Journal (Oxford University Press 1940) and his pencilled marks on the typescript indicate those portions of the text which he reproduced. About half of the text was published by Curwen.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2012 to March 2014
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2012 to March 2014 2014/15: 458 Introduction The period covered by this annual report – the financial years 2012-2014 – has probably been the most momentous in ESRO’s history as it saw the completion of the project to build and open The Keep. It marked the culmination of seven years’ work by the project partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and The University of Sussex to re-house their archives and other historical resources in a state-of-the-art building, both to ensure their permanent preservation and to increase and broaden access to this unique and irreplaceable material. Practical completion was achieved on 17 June 2013 when the building was handed over by the contractors, Kier. We immediately began to move ESRO material into The Keep, which was not as easy as it sounds – the work required to prepare the archives for transfer and then to move them is described elsewhere in this report. Staff worked long, hard hours preparing and supervising the ESRO removals. It was a remarkable feat and as a result all ESRO’s archives have been listed to at least collection level, packaged and shelved appropriately in a single building and can be tracked around it via the inventory management (barcoding) system. The service we now offer is not merely ESRO in a new building, but has been transformed into a fully integrated partnership, working not just to better but rather transcend what we previously provided. Behind the scenes each partner continues to maintain their individual collections in their separate databases but from the user’s point of view the service is seamless: the online catalogue and ordering system combine information from the three databases and presents them as a single resource on The Keep’s new website, www.thekeep.

Today only the back garden to the 8 flats making up number 32, together with a piece of land across the road, called the Secret Garden, remain (Fig. 2). The Trustees of the Antony Dale Trust, who own the Secret Garden wanted background information about the origins of the garden to use in promotional material and this was the original goal. An understanding of the development of the gardens, however, required consideration of the whole block from 32 to 40 as their histories are intertwined and this determined the scope of this exercise. Figure 2. The original extent of the garden (red) and what is left today (green). North to the left.
