Wenige Jahre später, im Zusammenhang mit der Diskussion um ein Nationalmuseum, beschlossen Kanton, Stadt und Burgergemeinde, an prominenter Lage im Kirchenfeld einen Museumsneubau zu errichten. Mit Stiftungsurkunde vom 20. Februar 1889 gründeten die drei Körperschaften die «Stiftung Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum», die 1893 in «Stiftung Bernisches Historisches Museum» umbenannt wurde. 1894 wurde der Museumsneubau eröffnet. Artikel 2 der Stiftungsurkunde definiert folgenden Zweck: Die Stiftung hat den Zweck, vorgeschichtliche, historische und ethnografische Kulturgüter zu sammeln, zu bewahren, zu dokumentieren, zu erforschen und zu vermitteln. Dabei steht das kul- turelle Erbe von Stadt und Staat Bern im Zentrum. Die Menschheitsgeschichte in ihrer Vielfalt bildet den Rahmen. Zur Erfüllung des Zweckes betreibt die Stiftung ein Museum. Seine Samm- lungen werden der Öffentlichkeit in Dauer- und Wechselausstellungen zugänglich sowie für Bil- dung und Wissenschaft nutzbar gemacht. Die Stiftung kann weitere Tätigkeiten ausüben, die der Zweckerfüllung dienen oder damit in Zusammenhang stehen. Das ethnografische Sammlungsarchiv ist ein Bestand der Abteilung Sammlungen innerhalb des Bernischen Historischen Museums. 1.2 Archivtektonik und Ordnung Die Unterlagen wurden gemäss folgender Tektonik strukturiert: A. Sammlungen [Abteilung] A.001 Ethnografische Sammlung [Bestand] Der Nachlass Henri Moser (Signatur: BHM - A.001.065) ist in den Bestand der Ethnografi- schen Sammlung integriert. 1.3 Form und Inhalt Das Archiv der Ethnografischen Sammlung besteht aus zwei Teilbeständen: - Unterlagen der Ethnografischen Sammlung und - Nachlass Henri Moser Die Unterlagen der Ethnografischen Sammlung umfassen: - Inventarbücher, Eingangsbücher - Korrespondenzserien, vor allem chronologisch geordnet - Korrespondenzserien, vor allem geografisch geordnet - Einzelne Korrespondenzen - Thematische Dossiers Die Unterlagen des Nachlasses Henri Mosers umfassen: - Unterlagen zu Reisen und Geschäften, 1870–1890 4 - Unterlagen zur Tätigkeit als Beauftragter der «K. u. K. gemeinsames Ministerium in Angelegenheiten Bosniens und der Hercegovina», 1892 bis 1903 - Unterlagen zur persönlichen ethnografischen Sammlung und zur Übergabe dersel- ben an das Bernische Historische Museum, Inventare - Korrespondenz, teilweise ungeordnet - Exzerpte, Notizen, Übersetzungen - (Reise-)Tagebücher, Kartenmaterial, Zeitungsartikel - Erinnerungsalben 1.4 Bestandsgeschichte Der Bestand des ethnografischen Sammlungsarchivs bildet den schriftlichen Niederschlag der ethnografischen Sammlungstätigkeit des Bernischen Historischen Museums. Bei den Unterlagen handelt es sich zu grossen Teilen um die Arbeitsablagen der Direktoren resp. Sammlungsverantwortlichen. Sie bestehen zur Hauptsache aus Informationen zur Samm- lungsbestandsbildung sowie aus Korrespondenzen mit Reisenden, Geschäftsleuten, Missi- onaren, Forscher*innen, Sammler*innen und Institutionen etc. Vereinzelte Dokumente und Inventare aus den Vorgängerinstitutionen des Bernischen Historischen Museums haben Eingang gefunden in das Archiv.1 Die Bestandsgeschichte der Unterlagen zur Ethnografi- schen Sammlung des Bernischen Historischen Museums lässt sich nur schwer rekonstruie- ren, da der Umgang mit den Unterlagen nicht dokumentiert ist. Einzelne Konvolute und Do- kumente sind für verschiedene Gebrauchszwecke separiert, auseinandergenommen und nach verschiedenen Kriterien, u.a. geografisch, personell, chronologisch umgeordnet wor- den. Der Bestand wurde bisher nicht archivisch bearbeitet. Einen Teilbestand des Archivs der Ethnografischen Sammlung bildet der Nachlass Henri Mosers (1844-1923). 1914 gründete er die Stiftung «Orientalische Sammlung Henri Moser Charlottenfels im Bernischen Historischen Museum». Im Zuge dieser Stiftung wurden dem Bernischen Historischen Museum bis 1921 - neben den ethnografischen Sammlungsobjek- ten selbst - auch das zugehörige Schriftgut, fotografisches Material sowie eine Fachbiblio- thek übergeben.2 Henri Moser selbst fertigte Dossiers an, in denen er aus seiner Sicht be- deutsame Zeugnisse seines Wirkens zusammenstellte. Die Unterlagen Henri Mosers erfuh- ren später verschiedene Bearbeitungen. In den 1960er-Jahren wurde der archivische und bibliothekarische Nachlass Moser erstmals grob erschlossen (Verzeichnis mit «M.67»-Sig- naturen). 2012 erfolgte eine Erschliessung der Dokumente Moser, welche jedoch die ur- sprünglich vorhandenen Ordnungs- und Dossierstrukturen weitgehend zunichte machte.3 Es muss festgestellt werden, dass bei dieser aufwendigen Arbeit wider archivischen Grundsätzen verfahren wurde und der ursprüngliche Entstehungszusammenhang nicht mehr rekonstruiert werden kann. Seither fanden in der Objekt-Datenbank des Museums punktuelle Nacherschliessungen der Akten Moser statt. Eine gesamthafte, die Bestände durchgehend nach einheitlichen Kriterien bewertende und behandelnde archivische Er- schliessung hat bis zu diesem durch das Bundesamt für Kultur geförderten Projekt (01.05.2019 - 31.08.2020) nicht stattgefunden. 1.5 Benutzung Für die Nutzung der Unterlagen ist die Benutzungsordnung massgeblich. 1 Vgl. Notiz verfasst von Rudolf Zeller, «Zur Katalogisierung in der Ethnographischen Sammlung» (BHM – A.001.001.001). 2 Balsiger und Kläy, 1992, S. 195. 3 Bernisches Historisches Museum, Jahresbericht 2012, S. 14. 5 1.6 Bearbeitung Das Projekt zur Bearbeitung der Bestände war in zwei Teile gegliedert: eine Pilotphase so- wie eine Hauptprojektphase. Im Rahmen der Pilotphase wurden Probeerschliessungen vor- genommen sowie die zu erfassenden Metadaten definitiv bestimmt; massgebend war hier vor allem der Standard ISAD(G). Die nachfolgende Erschliessung der Bestände wurde in einem separaten Archivmodul direkt in der Datenbank MuseumPlus vorgenommen. Die Do- kumente wurden nach archivischen Standards verpackt. Bei der Bearbeitung der Bestände der Ethnografischen Sammlung wurde die vorliegende Struktur der Unterlagen konsequent übernommen. Zentraler Bestandteil der Erschliessung war die Erfassung massgeblicher Personen und Körperschaften. Sofern in den Korrespon- denzserien Ankäufe und Schenkungen verhandelt wurden, wurden nach Möglichkeit sämtli- che involvierten Personen und Körperschaften identifiziert und einzeln erfasst. Bei den übri- gen Dossiers wurde nach Relevanz entschieden, ob eine Erfassung der Korrespondent*in- nen als sinnvoll erschien. Eine geografische Referenzierung

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Doctor of Philosophy STRIKING AN ATTITUDE: TABLEAUX VIVANTS IN THE BRITISH LONG NINETEENTH CENTURY by Elena Stevens This thesis examines one instance of the long nineteenth-century’s engagement with the Antique: the medium of entertainment known as tableaux vivants. In tableau vivant performances, men, women and children were arranged into motionless (or near- motionless) configurations, and presented to audiences in parlour rooms, pleasure gardens, circuses, public houses, exhibition halls, variety theatres and music halls. Many performances derived inspiration from Antique statues or classicising paintings, although some captured elements of distant cultures.

Andersen, Chair Justine Sherry Michael Kaminsky Miguel Castro, Microsoft Research, Cambridge Submitted in partial fulllment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Copyright © 2019 Anuj Kalia This research was sponsored by the National Science Foundation under grant numbers CNS-1314721 and CNS- 1700521, Intel ISTC-CC, Intel ISTC-VCC, and a Facebook Fellowship.

Keywords: datacenter networks, distributed systems, Remote Procedure Calls, Remote Di- rect Memory Access, eRPC To my father, Darshan Lal Kalia, for getting me here iv Abstract Datacenter network latencies are approaching their microsecond-scale speed-of-light limit, and network bandwidths continue to grow beyond 100 Gbps. These improvements bear rethinking the design of communication-intensive distributed systems for datacenters, whose performance has historically been limited by slow networks. With the slowing down of Moore’s law, a popular approach is to redesign distributed systems to use network hardware devices and technologies that ooad communication or data access from commodity CPUs, such as smart network cards (NICs), lossless networks, programmable NICs, and programmable switches. In this dissertation, we show that we can continue to use end-to-end software-only commu- nication mechanisms to build high-performance distributed systems, i.e., we bring the speed of fast networks to distributed systems without an expensive redesign with in-network hardware ooads.

The most famous titles done in that format were the many books of G. A. Henty, although such people as G. M. Fenn, F.
