Gloucester City Council Gloucester City Council COMMITTEE : GLOUCESTER LEADERSHIP TEAM CABINET BRIEFING CABINET DATE : 17 TH MARCH 2009 1ST APRIL 2009 15 TH APRIL 2009 SUBJECT : MUSEUMS’ COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY DECISION TYPE : EXECUTIVE WARD : ALL REPORT BY : CABINET MEMBER FOR HERITAGE & LEISURE NO. OF APPENDICES : APPENDIX ONE: COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY REFERENCE NO. : PT01049B (final version 20/3/2009 11.00am) 1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To share with members the latest version of the Museums’ Service’s Collection Development Policy prior to its submission in May 2009 to the MLA (Museums, Libraries, Archives) as part of the Museums’ Accreditation process. 1.2 To seek Cabinet approval for the Collection Development Policy, Cabinet being the Museums’ governing body. 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 That Cabinet approves the Collection Development Policy. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 In the past, some Museums had a ‘no-refusal’ policy for donated items. This led to the acquisition of large collections that had little relevance and depended upon the whims and enthusiasms of individual curators. Collection Development Policies were introduced twenty years ago to bring collections into focus: to strengthen the good and to eliminate the bad and/or the irrelevant. Moreover, an effective Collection Development Policy prevents adjacent Museums collecting from the same geographical areas. 3.2 A good Collection Development Policy is, therefore, essential to the proper management of the Council’s collections. A Collection Development Policy sets out what Gloucester Museums collect and, by implication, what they do not collect. It enables staff to accept items as suitable to collections or to reject them as being unsuitable. It is a powerful tool when dealing with public donations and enables officers to refuse items without giving offence. It helps to ensure that collections are focused on the core purpose of the service which is to tell the fascinating 2000 year story of Gloucester to all communities and visitors. PT01049B 1 PT01049B 2 3.3 The current emphasis of the Collection Development Policy is responsible acquisition and the proper management of collections. That means that even if an item should fall within the scope of the Collection Development Policy, its size or the potential difficulties in conserving the item could prevent its acceptance by the Museums’ Service. 3.4 In practise, in the current phase of the Council’s collections, the emphasis is upon rationalisation and refocusing through careful management. The collections consist of some two hundred thousand items and not all of them are relevant or sufficiently provenanced to be of use. 3.5 In addition, as the Council’s portfolio of properties is reduced collections can no longer be stored ‘free of charge’; and, consequently for the first time in one hundred and thirteen years, the stored collections will involve an annual, and as yet undetermined, cost to the Council. It is vital, therefore, that collections are appropriately controlled and not irresponsibly acquired. This is what the Collection Development Policy sets out to do. 3.6 In recent months, under the supervision of the Director of Regeneration, a list of disposals has been prepared. This list has been prepared according to MLA guidelines and will be submitted to GLT and Cabinet in due course. One thing is clear. Each item in the collections of the future will have to justify its existence in a way that was not the case previously. 3.7 The Collection Development Policy is set out as follows. The first section deals with the general principles of collection development laid down by the MLA (Museums, Libraries, Archives). The second section sets out the Council’s individual collections by type and any scope for development or otherwise. 4.0 PROGRESS 4.1 See above. 5.0 FUTURE WORK 5.1 See below. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS • That collections are responsibly controlled in a sustainable way for the benefit of Gloucester’s citizens; • That the Museums’ Service achieves the Accreditation standard. 7.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 7.1 There should be no financial implications resulting from this policy other than the better control of Museums’ expenditure. PT01049B 3 8.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 8.1 An agreed Collection Development Policy is fundamental to Museums’ Accreditation. Without Accreditation Museums will not be able to seek external funding. 9.0 RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS (Authors to complete) Identify all key risks (scoring 8 and above) for the recommendation including the impact and likelihood of the risk occurring and what measures will be taken to mitigate the risk. 9.1 Failure to approve the Collection Development Policy will mean that Museums’ Accreditation will not be granted and external funding cannot be sought. 10.0 PREDICTIVE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (EQUALITIES) (Authors to complete) Identify all risks for customers and staff, in the areas of gender, disability, age, race, religion, sexual orientation etc. 10.1 Proper control of the collections will enable future judicious acquisitions in respect of the equalities strands. 11.0 OTHER CORPORATE IMPLICATIONS 1. Community Safety (Author to complete) There are no implications under this heading. 2. Environmental (Author to complete) There are no implications under this heading. 3. Staffing (Author to complete) There are no implications under this heading. 4. Trade Union (Author to complete) There are no implications under this heading.

It describes the collections currently held by Gloucester Museums Service and sets out clearly the scope for future collecting as well as the limitations on collecting. It ensures that collecting and disposal is carried out in an ethical way, and in a way that promotes a good working relationship with other museums and archives in Gloucestershire. This document will be made freely available to the public. 1.2 Museums Service Statement of Purpose Museums enable people to explore collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment. They are institutions that collect, safeguard and make accessible artefacts and specimens, which they hold in trust for society. (Museums Association, Code of Ethics for Museums) The vision of Gloucester Museums Service is to be recognised as a quality service which reaches out to all ages and communities to celebrate and animate the 2000 year story of Gloucester in ways that promote learning, pride in the city, tourism, entertainment and fun. 1.3 General description of the collections Gloucester Museums Service comprises Gloucester Folk Museum and Gloucester City Museum & Art Gallery, which between them hold collections of archaeology, social history, numismatics, art and natural history artefacts and specimens. While the Folk Museum holds most of the social history items and the City Museum holds most of the other collections, there is some overlap between the two. 1.4 Period of time and / or geographical area to which collecting relates Gloucester is the county town of the modern (post-1974) and ancient (pre-1974) county of Gloucestershire. From 1483 to 1974 it was a county borough in its own right, incorporating from 1483 to 1662, the Hundreds of Dudstone and Kings Barton, which included the following villages and parishes: Badgeworth, Barnwood, Birdlip, Brockworth, Brookthorpe, Churcham, Churchdown, Down Hatherley, Elmore, Gloucester, Great Witcombe, Harescombe, Haresfield, Hartpury, Hempsted, Highleadon, Highnam, Hucclecote, Lassington, Longford, Longlevens, Maisemore, Matson, Minsterworth, Norton, Pitchcombe, Prinknash Park, PT01049B 4 Quedgeley (part), Rudford, Sandhurst, Shurdington, Twigworth, Up Hatherley, Upton St Leonards, Whaddon. The City Council and its Museums Service has always collected from these historic areas, but after consultation with other local museums in 2007, the new collecting area has been decided as follows: Ashleworth, Badgeworth, Barnwood,

  • In 1968. the Report Consists of the Following Parts: L the Northgate Turnpike Roads 2 Early Administration and the Turnpike Trust
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1971 pages 1-58 [This edition was reprinted in 1987 by the Author in Hong Kong with corrections and revised pagination] THE NQRIH§AIE.IHBNBlKE N SPRY For more than one hundred and seventy years the road from the city of Gloucester to the top of Birdlip Hill, and the road which branched eastwards from it up Crickley Hill towards Oxford and later London, was maintained from the proceeds of the various turnpikes or toll gates along it. This report examines the history and administration of these roads from their earliest period to the demise of the Turnpike Trust in l87l and also details excavations across the road at Wotton undertaken in 1968. The report consists of the following Parts: l The Northgate Turnpike roads 2 Early administration and the Turnpike Trust 3 Tolls, exemptions and traffic 4 Road materials 5 Excavations at Wotton 1968 I Summary II The Excavations III Discussion References 1 IHE.NQBIH§AIE.BQADfi The road to Gloucester from Cirencester and the east is a section of the Roman road known as Ermine Street. The line of this road from Brockworth to Wotton has been considered to indicate a Severn crossing at Kingsholm one Km north of Gloucester, where, as late as the seventeenth century, a major branch of the river flowed slightly west of modern Kingsholm. The extent of early Roman archaeological material from Kingsholm makes it likely to have been a military site early in the Roman period. (l) Between Wotton Hill and Kingsholm this presumed line is lost; the road possibly passed through the grounds of Hillfield House and along the ridge, now marked by Denmark Road, towards the river.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.
