Introduction

This year, UCL took on the direct funding of public engagement as an integral part of its activity, and so for the first time we have planned museum and wider public engagement activity together, developing a shared mission and an overlapping set of aims. Both parts of the service are evolving rapidly and both have seen considerable success over the last year. On the museum side, the development of some ground breaking new spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Octagon Gallery and the Materials Library and MakeSpace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the improvements to the Grant Museum have changed the way we think about collections and their use in a university. Public visitor numbers are up by 27%, student use of collections is up by 7% and museum based primary school outreach by 111%. The Public Engagement Unit followed a two-pronged strategy, helping researchers to embed public engagement into their own projects and work plans (including providing advice to research applications that brought over ÂŁ35 million into UCL), and providing opportunities for researchers to connect with the public for the first time. This year saw the expansion of events strands and the launch of new training programmes, as well as involvement in major UCL projects such as the Farr Institute.

Our mission

MISSION We connect students, staff and communities and enable them to explore ideas and change the world through: • Active engagement • Enthusiastic collaboration • Innovative and inspiring use of collections

AUDIENCES • Our primary audiences are UCL staff and UCL students • Our focus for public engagement activity is on Camden, Islington and Newham residents and workers • Our schools outreach provision focuses on state schools in Camden, Islington and Newham • Our public museums also serve other Higher Education users, communities of origin and other interested groups, both in London and internationally

Teaching and learning

Aims

Activity

We will enhance the student experience by extending the use of object-based learning and e-learning, and the use of our spaces for teaching, working closely with our academic colleagues.

This year, although the number of UCL courses using our collections fell slightly – due to courses being discontinued or staff changes – the overall number of student uses of collections continued to rise. Cross-disciplinary use of collections remained a major focus of our work, and this year we began recording the number of departments using the museums for teaching. The Institute of Archaeology, Earth Sciences and History of Art departments have always used objects extensively in their teaching, but other departments – such as English, Scandinavian Studies and the Bartlett School of Architecture – are also now using our collections regularly and the department is set to support a new object-based half module on UCL’s flagship Bachelor of Arts and Sciences programme.

We will aid the development of courses that include public engagement, in order to align teaching better with UCL research, improve employability and reflect ‘global citizenship’.

A new range of digital resources has been launched, putting UCL at the forefront of collections based e-learning

In January, we were delighted to launch a new range of digital resources, showcasing the unique museum collections of UCL and the University of Reading. This is the result of an exciting collaborative project to explore and promote different ways of using digital collections e-learning. Around 150,000 individual objects have been made available on Culture Grid www.culturegrid.org.uk and over 15 individual e-resources are being made available online at www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/learning/objects-andelearning. The resources, which are Open Educational Resources (OERs), are designed for use in university teaching across a wide range of subjects from the life sciences, fine art and history to museum and artefact studies. The development of these resources puts UCL and the University of Reading at the forefront nationally in terms of collections-based e-learning, and has been generously funded by JISC and supported by the Collections Trust.

Case Study: Science and Technology Studies teaching in UCL Art Museum For several years now, Dr Chiara Ambrosio has used UCL’s art collection for a number of her taught courses and postgraduate skills workshops, developing a close working relationship with curator Dr Andrea Fredericksen. Her Special Topic course entitled: ‘Science, Art and Philosophy’ examines interactions between science and art from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It helps students to question the role of visual representations in the practice of both science and art and to debate what counts as ‘objective’ representation. To teach this course, Ambrosio has drawn on a wide range of works within the Art Museum’s collections, including eighteenth-century French anatomical prints, a sixteenth-century depiction of a rhinoceros, a nineteenth-century American photograph album, and Slade School artists’ computer-generated art dating from the 1970s. Of the ten weekly topics taught on Science, Art and Philosophy, five of them use the Art Museum and its collections as a starting point. In particular, lectures on ‘Denotation, Convention and the Riddle of Style’, ‘Truth-to-Nature’, and ‘The Future of Representations’ and tutorials on ‘Representation in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’ and ‘Representing Time: seriality and duration’ are all based in the Museum space, using easels to display selected works of art. Ambrosio’s approach maintains a close connection between her research and teaching and the students benefit from her energy to try new things. Most recently, Ambrosio has looked into the Art Museum’s map collections as another possible avenue for exploring scientific representation with her students.

Ambrosio is an ardent advocate of the benefits of contact with real works of art, rather than digital reproductions. For her, the engagement that students have with the works in the museum space is extremely valuable – as it develops their skills of critical appraisal and their ability to form independent judgements about visual sources. The assessment set for ‘Science, Art and Philosophy’ is in keeping with this ethos of close contact with the visual, as students are asked to produce a poster presentation of an ‘academic quality’. This exercise leads many students to book research visits with the museum and undertake their own analysis and documentation of the collections. Through such interactions the Art Museum gains inspiration for creating new, publicly accessible learning resources. A case in point is the Anatomy Teaching Pack, which was inspired by Ambrosio’s use of anatomical prints in her teaching.

Research

Aims

Activity

• We will work closely with our academic colleagues and with external partners to support multidisciplinary collections-based research, and facilitate funded projects meeting UCL’s Grand Challenges and the impact agenda.

This year our public engagement team expanded to meet the growing demand for advice and support from across UCL. There is now a Public Engagement Co-Ordinator to support each of UCL’s three Schools. Much of the focus of this year has been to support the preparation of UCL’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) submission and a major focus of work for the Co-Ordinators has been to support the preparation of impact case studies and developing evidence of effective public engagement.

• We will expand our support of public engagement as a ‘Pathway to Impact’ in grant applications, and help more and higher-quality ‘engaged’ research to be carried out at UCL.

In addition, we continue to work closely with our colleagues to provide public engagement advice to those submitting applications for research council funding, and have developed an ‘impact offer’ or menu of activity that our department can provide to enable effective public engagement with research. The Public Engagement Unit particularly focuses on providing support for research applications that will have institution-wide effect, which this year included the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account and the multi-funder eHealth Research Centre (now The Farr Institute).

Following a successful application to Arts Council England, the Share Academy programme has been developed, in partnership with University of the Arts London and the London Museums group

The department joined the new UCL-wide Cultural Heritage Network, and our focus has been on developing external cultural partnerships. We were successful in attracting strategic funding from Arts Council England for the Share Academy programme – a partnership with University of the Arts London and the London Museums Group – which is exploring the benefits of brokering links between higher education and London’s specialist museums. This programme is attracting considerable attention from cultural organisations and sector funding bodies, and promises to be influential in establishing how such partnerships are best established.

Case study: Healing Heritage Dr Helen Chatterjee, the department’s Head of Research and Teaching, has led a number of research programmes exploring the therapeutic potential of museums and the benefits that encounters with museums, and their collections, could have for health and wellbeing. This research has been undertaken in partnership with a wide network of museums, voluntary organisations and healthcare providers, and has attracted considerable interest from partners and funding bodies. An initial AHRC-funded study, Heritage in Hospitals, focused on the role of object handling as a therapeutic intervention in hospitals and residential care homes and provided evidence to demonstrate the potential of museums to improve health and wellbeing through a positive, interactive, social experience. Using a robust quantitative and qualitative framework the research involved collaboration with a wide range of partners (academics, museums/galleries, Arts Council England, New Economics Foundation), as well as the key stakeholders, namely those members of the public who participate. Subsequent funding has been used to undertake a scoping survey of health and wellbeing-orientated programmes across UK and international museums, which showed that the sector is increasingly recognising the importance of integrating health and wellbeing outcomes in museum programming. This research led Chatterjee to recognise the importance of obtaining robust evidence to better understand the impact of museum activities on health and wellbeing. To this end she is collaborating with around 15 museums and other organisations to develop a museumwellbeing measure. Another ongoing project, funded by the Heritage Lottery, is also collaborating with various museums and charities (e.g. Sense) to develop a volunteering programme to help museums deliver healthy

activities in hospitals, care homes and community organisations targeting those experiencing ill-health. The research identified a series of positive therapeutic outcomes including: highly significant improvements in positive emotion, wellbeing and happiness, improvements in patients’ perceptions of their own health and optimism about the role of handling sessions as a distraction from ward life that impacts positively on relationships among staff, patients and their carers. Sessions undertaken in 1-1 and group psychotherapy/counselling sessions indicate that patients engage with the symbolic potential of heritage objects for a better understanding of their concerns about survival, fear, powerlessness and loss. In total the research worked with over 300 patient groups from the following settings: oncology, gynaecology, acute and elderly care, neurological rehabilitation, A&E admission inpatients, psychiatric in- and outpatients and care home residents. The impact of the research across professional and academic sectors is demonstrated by: •

the adoption of the object handling protocol by other museums both in the UK and internationally

•

invitations to contribute to sector-wide publications

•

citation in the Royal Society for Public Health’s ‘Arts, Health and Wellbeing’ Policy Paper

•

award of a Royal Society for Public Health ‘Arts and Health Award’, with a special commendation for innovative and outstanding contribution to the fields of arts and health research

Public engagement and outreach

Aims

Activity

We will develop experimental spaces and activities where we use our collections and skills to engage sustainably with our local communities and target schools, and help UCL colleagues and students to do so, in order to promote social inclusion.

This year saw greater activity than ever on the public engagement front, with the Public Engagement Unit playing a key role in helping to deliver major UCL events such as the Festival of the Arts and to support external events such as the Bloomsbury Festival. The Unit also enhanced its training programmes for staff and students across UCL, and for the first time delivered some of this training remotely to colleagues at UCL Australia. With a new appointment of Public Engagement Co-Ordinator (East), we began work to co-ordinate and develop our engagement with communities and partners in East London.

We will support academic staff in engaging with local communities with money, staff time and expertise. We will also strategically fund our own engagement projects locally to fill gaps in provision.

Public visitor numbers to all our public museums increased dramatically: 27% up on last year.

This year we launched a new integrated programme for PhD student training in public engagement, with the Graduate School and the Department of Science and Technology Studies, that received excellent student feedback. This will be expanded in 2013-14 to include a wider ranger of skills. With increased investment in outreach provision this year, we were able to more than double the number of London primary school children we reached. Our outreach staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of them UCL students or alumni â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took boxes of museum objects to target schools in Camden, Islington and Newham, running curriculum based sessions to introduce children to object-based learning and the idea of university study. We also began to develop our outreach provision for secondary schools and ran two highly successful Widening Participation Summer Schools.

In November 2012 we opened the Octagon Gallery, a display space for showcasing cross-disciplinary research, at the heart of UCL under the dome. The Flaxman Gallery, directly above and now visible from the ground floor, has also been transformed by the opening up of the oculus, and the creation of a new glass plinth for the statue of St Michael. The transformation of what was a rather drab space into a gallery showcasing current UCL research has been received with real enthusiasm by staff and students. The department also supported the development of the Institute of Making and Make Space, together with the Materials Library, which opened in March 2013 to great acclaim. Around 1,000 UCL staff and students joined as members in the first four months, and the space has catalysed new cross disciplinary interactions. Monthly Saturday open days have attracted far more people than could fit in the space, with people queuing up to try their hand at activities such as flint knapping, rope making and animatronics. Also launching in March were the new displays at the Grant Museum, funded through a DCMS/ Wolfson grant. These included: a wonderful trompe l’oeil mural in the foyer, painted by Slade student Sarah Cameron and converted from a broom cupboard off the main gallery – the Micrarium. This tiny space is lined floor to (mirrored) ceiling with over 2,300 backlit microscope slides featuring tiny animals, and lantern slides used in zoology lectures. The Grant Museum this year won the Most Inspiring Museum award at the Museums + Heritage Awards and was nominated for the European Museum of the Year Award.

Case study: student engagers in museums UCL Museums Student Engagers are a group of PhD Research students employed at UCL’s three public museums to talk to visitors about their research and make links with this and objects in the museums. This experimental project is an example of public engagement within the university that enhances the experience of visitors to the museums and the UCL student experience, developing the skills of young researchers.

As well as working in the museums, the students developed: • a website • a blog • a Twitter feed • organised an exhibition and a public event.

The students have all developed skills through this work, such as how to engage with a wide range of different people, how to plan and organise events, how to work with objects.

Student Engagers stand in the museum spaces and approach visitors, introducing themselves and their work. They invite visitors into conversation about their research and answer questions as they arise. Some Engagers use objects in the museum collections or other props such as sound recordings or images related to their research. Currently there are nine Engagers with widely differing areas of research interest. Topics of conversation vary widely and every conversation is different depending on the visitor’s interests.

Their regular interactions with the public enhance their research, partly through making them think more broadly about it: “This conversation influenced my research by suggesting new analyses of vocalisations”, “Got some interesting views on Greek culture/ history/ historians from an Egyptologist’s perspective.” Students feel that they benefit from thinking in a more interdisciplinary way as a result of working with other research students from different faculties.

The engagers monitor and evaluate their interactions so that everyone can learn from the process. The majority of visitors that the engagers speak to are under 35 years old. Many of these are tourists. In the six month period May-October 2013 details of 779 conversations were recorded involving 1,410 visitors. The average length of interactions was 12 minutes, showing that visitors want to have a detailed conversation. The longest conversation lasted for 2 hours.

Visitors gain insight into the collections, into the work of a university and the students’ research topics: “visitor interested to learn more about mental health”, “talked about media representation and stigma”, “chatted a lot about Ancient Greek and Chinese history”.

We will use our collections as a basis for income-generating activity and commercial partnerships and establish and collaborate with UCL-affiliated social enterprises

This is a newly defined area of activity for us, and this year the focus has been on developing provision for online sales. However progress on this requires dedicated support from colleagues in UCL Finance & Information Systems and progress to develop the necessary web templates has been slow. We have instituted charges to recoup the cost of object loans and have worked to develop and regularise our membership schemes.

International

Aims

Activity

We will contribute to UCL’s International Strategy, using our collections, knowledge and skills to develop cultural ties with UCL’s key partners.

This year saw considerable activity on the international front. Working with UCL’s Office of International Affairs, we appointed four departmental international champions to develop activity with UCL’s overseas campuses in Qatar and Australia and its partnership in Kazakhstan. As 2013 was the UK-Qatar Year of Culture, and as the Doha campus focuses on cultural heritage, much of our activity was directed here.

We will share UCL’s approach to public engagement internationally, with our own campuses and wider afield, while trying to adapt the best public engagement practice worldwide for use here at UCL.

A ground breaking community engagement training and mentoring programme was delivered with museum professionals from the Middle East and North Africa

In January we launched a new interactive exhibition in the foyer of UCL Qatar, showcasing UCL’s pioneering work in 3D scanning and its applications in the heritage field. We also helped place, and hosted, Museum Studies students from UCL Qatar who wished to undertake work placements in the UK. We also undertook an advisory visit to UCL Australia to explore the potential for public engagement activity. A partnership with the British Council and UCL spin out social enterprise Heritage Without Borders saw us deliver a groundbreaking community engagement training and mentoring programme for museum professionals from the Middle East and North Africa. Nine cultural heritage ‘fellows’ attended a short course at UCL and spent time at four partner museums where they were paired with UK based mentors. The programme has attracted widespread interest and the British Council have expressed interest in continuing to work in partnership with UCL to deliver short course training for cultural heritage professionals internationally. A new gift book, Conversation Pieces, featuring selected objects from our collections as described by UCL researchers was launched in July. The intention is that this functions as a gift for international partners, stakeholders and visiting delegations.

Collections

Aim

Activity

We will centralise collections management and care processes and resources, plan spaces and consolidate knowledge to enable effective physical and digital access to all collections and to maximise their use.

The restructuring and centralising of much of our activity in this area has started to pay dividends in terms of preventative conservation and collections care. Central purchasing and sharing of key equipment for environmental monitoring and collections access has already brought about improvements to the care of most of our collections, as demonstrated by the indicators below. All three of the collections submitted for museum accreditation – the Grant, Art and Geology collections – achieved it this year once again. The creation of the Octagon Gallery space has provided a high quality display area and regular opportunities for working with academics to curate exhibitions that feature collections from different disciplines. This new activity has presented some planning challenges, which have led to the development of useful new procedures and guidelines for co-curation.

All three of the collections submitted for museum accreditation achieved it this year once again.

Elsewhere, building work has necessitated collections moves, often leading to temporary access difficulties and delays in activity. Work to remove asbestos in Wolfson House rendered the Galton and other collections inaccessible for several months. The Grant Museum stores are still recovering from the knock-on effects of disastrous floods in previous years, with a substantial location audit still underway. Options are still under consideration for new locations for the Petrie and Art Museums. Meanwhile continued malfunctioning of the Petrie Museum air conditioning has presented serious challenges. This year saw considerable progress on digitisation, with grants from external funding bodies – JISC and the Niarchos Foundation – enabling the digitisation of substantial numbers of objects to facilitate use in e-learning programmes and online. Closer working with UCL’s Information Systems Division promises to bring real benefits in terms of support for our collections management system.

Aim

Activity

This year we commissioned an extensive survey of audiences perceptions of our public museums. The results of this are feeding into the redesign of our website and planning for future activity. We worked hard to increase our online presence and impact and our success is evidenced by greatly increased online and social media activity. Our staff wrote over 450 blog posts, with some achieving 5000+ views, and the blog receiving 6,000-9,000 views per month. A collaboration with UCL’s Centre for Digital Humanities and Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis produced a pilot ‘museum dashboard’ (see www.citydashboard.org/uclmuseums/ ) with live data feeds on areas such as environmental monitoring. We produced self guided tours and ‘top ten objects’ which are now well-visited areas of our website. This increased online activity has no doubt helped more than double the amount of positive media mentions we received this year. In the real world, new external signage for the Grant and Art Museums has helped attract passing visitors and a new ‘About UCL Museums’ booklet has filled a gap in communicating some of the services we provide.

Our staff wrote over 450 blog posts, with the blog receiving 6000 – 9000 views per month

Case Study: UCL Museums and Collections blog Over the past two years UCL Museums and Collections staff have collaborated in blogging about the life and work of the department. Subjects as diverse as the life of Francis Galton, the annual thylacine day and the true definition of a curator have earned the blog a growing following with online audiences. Up until May 2013, the blog was visited by over 65,000 unique visitors, and has been used to raise the profile of the department, engage with new and existing audiences and to promote upcoming events and activities. The interactive nature of the blog has also opened up conversations with visitors, providing them with new ways to discuss museum-based topics with staff. Many museum staff contribute posts and the blog conveys a sense of a conversation with a group of individuals rather than a corporate voice. There have been over 450 blog posts since its inception, with strong representation from all museums and collections. Posts of all types receive many visits, however those based specifically around museum life (e.g. museum professions, systems, etc) and museum objects appear to be most popular. The blog has increased awareness of museums issues to completely new audiences. For instance, Mark Carnall’s post ‘How to tell an archaeologist from a palaeontologist’ was read by almost 5,500 different visitors from around the world (mostly from the USA). One reader commented: ‘Fantastic post and excellent find! I’m really happy to see such a fun mix of pop culture, archaeological insight, and UCL’s hoard of amazing finds. Some of the best museum digital outreach I’ve seen’.
