Today there are hundreds of historic house museums open in communities across the country. Many of these museums recognize a noted historical character or event while others are noted for their architectural styling and detail. How should these museums care for their collections and interpretations to keep their standards high and to attract visitors? The case studies look at how several museums in east central Indiana operate and manage under different types of ownership, including state, county, and city governments, foundations, and historic groups. From interviews and visitations these museums were analysed as to how they coped with finances, day to day operations, traffic, collections and maintenance policies. The histories and future goals of each site were also researched and documented. Conclusions were drawn after these case studies were finished as to what were the best methods of management in order to achieve a high quality historic house museum.

The Hoskins House is a two-story, single pen log structure located in Tannenbaum Historic Park, Greensboro, North Carolina. The house is thought to have been built by Joseph Hoskins, who lived in Guilford County from 1778 until his death in 1799. Previous archaeological testing of soil around the house yielded over 1000 artifacts, and the ceramics of these gave a Mean Ceramic Date (MCD) of 1810 as a possible initial year of construction. Our objective was to date the outermost rings on as many logs as were accessible in the Hoskins House to determine the year or range of years when the house was likely built. We compared 37 ring-width measurement series from 28 white oak group logs with a composite reference chronology created from three oak reference chronologies from Virginia. We found that the logs were cut over a 3-year period from 1811 to 1813, lending credence to the initial MCD of 1810. Joseph Hoskins had already passed away in 1799 and the property was deeded to his two sons, Joseph and Ellis. Ellis Hoskins eventually was later deeded sole possession of the property. The two-story log house located at Tannenbaum Historic Park may be more correctly called the ‘‘Ellis Hoskins House’’ rather than the ‘‘Joseph Hoskins House.’’

Often teachers are faced with the challenge of teaching more content with less time and resources. The use of trade books within the content areas allows teachers to integrate multiple skills in one lesson. The Magic Tree House series has been popular with students and teachers on the elementary level. Using books such as these would be a good way for teachers to use their allotted time to teach all of the content that they are accountable for. This thesis will explore the historical accuracy and educational connections within the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne. The purpose of my thesis research is to determine, through the methodology of content analysis, if the facts provided within the Magic Tree House series are accurate enough to use as supplements within the classroom as well as what Next Generation Sunshine State Standards might be linked to particular books.

Annotation:
In recent decades, agencies charged with managing historic structures and sites have found dendroarchaeological studies increasingly valuable, given the ability of such studies to verify (or refute) accepted dates of construction. The Ximénez-Fatio House has well-documented historical and cultural significance for the state of Florida, as it is one of St. Augustine’s oldest, best-preserved, and most studied historic properties. According to documentary sources, the two-story coquina-stone main house was reportedly built around 1797–1798, and included a one-story wing of warehouses, giving the house a distinctive ‘‘L’’ shape. Documentary evidence also suggests that a second story was added above the wing sometime between 1830 and 1842. However, after studying the building fabric itself, historical architects now believe the entire wing of the house was remodeled two decades later in the 1850s. Our goals were to: (1) determine the probable construction years for the original house and wing using tree-ring dating techniques, and (2) verify the probable construction year for the remodeling that occurred in the wing section of the house. A total of 74 core samples were extracted from longleaf pine (Pinus palustris P. Miller) timbers used to construct the house. Twenty-six were confidently crossdated both visually and statistically against each other to produce a 185-year floating tree-ring chronology. A statistically significant (p < 0.0001) correlation between our chronology and a longleaf pine chronology from Lake Louise, Georgia, anchors our chronology between 1673 and 1857. No cutting dates were obtained from the main house, but the lack of any tree rings that post-date 1798 supports the 1797 construction date. Furthermore, cutting dates obtained from beams in the first-floor wing revealed that the extensive remodeling of the wing likely occurred in the period 1856 to 1858 soon after the house had been purchased by Louisa Fatio in 1855.

Abstract This thesis examines the raison d�etre of the Australian Senate, the upper house of the Australian bicameral parliament, established in 1901. It explores the literature that might have influenced its establishment and structure, and the attitudes, ideals, experience and expectations of the men (and they were all men) who initiated its existence and designed its structure during the Federation Conventions of the 1890s. It goes on to study whether similar western and British influenced institutions were seen as models by the designers of the Senate, followed by an examination of its architecture, d�cor, and procedures, to determine the major influences at work on these aspects of the institution. The study was undertaken in view of the paucity of studies of the history and role of the Senate in relation to its powerful influence on the Government of Australia. Its structure can allow a minority of Senators to subvert or obstruct key measures passed by the lower house and is a serious issue for Governments in considering legislation. Answers are sought to the questions of how and why it was conceived and created and what role it was expected to play. The study does not extend beyond 1901 when the Senate was established except to examine the Provisional Parliament House, opened in 1927, which realised the vision of the Convention delegates who determined that the Senate was the house we had to have. The research approach began with an exhaustive study of the Records of the Federal Conventions of the 1890s, where the Constitution of Australia was drawn up, along with contemporary writings and modern comment on such institutions. A study of the men who designed the Senate was carried out, augmented with field visits to the Australian State Parliaments. Research was also conducted into upper houses identified by the delegates to the Australian Federal Conventions, to consider their influence on the design of the Senate. The conclusion is that the Senate was deliberately structured to emulate the then existing British system as far as possible; it was to be an august house of review and a bastion against democracy, or at least a check on hasty legislation. The delegates showed no desire to extinguish ties with Great Britain and their vision of an upper house was modelled directly on the House of Lords. The vast majority of delegates had cut their teeth in colonial upper houses, which were themselves closely modelled on the Lords. To not establish a Senate would have been to turn their backs on themselves. The Senate then, is not a hybrid of Washington and Westminster: the influence of the United States was limited to the composition of the Senate and its name and mediated through the filter of its British heritage. The example of other legislatures was unimportant except where it solved problems previously experienced in the Colonial Councils and which might have otherwise occurred in the Senate. The Senate was the upper house we had to have; it was a decision that was taken before the delegates even met.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University
Historic houses function as the stages for, and central figures in, processes of place-making and heritage construction. I offer the case site of the Fairbanks House (completed in 1641) in Dedham, Massachusetts as the subject of my investigation into these issues. Touted as the "oldest timber frame house in North America," the Fairbanks House is widely regarded as a significant example of early colonial architecture in the United States; it has operated as a house museum since it was purchased by the Fairbanks Family in America, Inc. stewardship group in 1904. This study expands beyond antiquity to include all eight generations of Fairbanks families who lived on the property. I argue that longevity, and a durational perspective that links the past with the present, is equally vital to peoples' understanding and appreciation. I trace the biography of the Fairbanks House from its creation in the early 17th century to its current use as a heritage site. This perspective emphasizes the continued saliency of accumulated individual decisions and actions, reified by both material culture and immaterial processes such as tradition and memory. I use archaeological, architectural, documentary, and oral sources to reconstruct the landscape of the Fairbanks farm and I demonstrate how residents made day-to-day choices, such as land purchases or neighborly socializing, to improve their socio-economic standing and establish a future for their children. In doing so for eight generations, they established a legacy that was celebrated beginning in the 19th century, when Fairbanks women living in the house promoted their family's history through storytelling and published media. These processes of heritage construction remain continuous and personal, as shown by the results of an ethnographic study that I designed, which reveals that Fairbanks House museum visitors define historicity not through specific facts about the Fairbanks family but through their own narratives based on their engagement with the site's material culture. In addition to providing an important example of how generations of modestly-successful New England farmers adapted their surroundings to fit their values and goals, this study positions local house museums as dynamic spaces for creative, personal engagements with the past.

The Swaggerty Blockhouse has historical and cultural significance for Tennessee because it is believed to be the only remaining 18th Century blockhouse in the state. We incorporated analyses of artifacts obtained from archaeological excavations coupled with tree-ring dating techniques to determine the possible year of construction of the structure. A nearby reference tree-ring chronology from Norris Dam anchored the Swaggerty Blockhouse tree-ring chronology from 1674 to 1859. The assemblages of artifacts (nails, ceramics, and window glass) recovered from the site corroborated the construction date and provided a clear understanding of the structure’s use as a barn for storage and hog processing. Based on our analyses, the historic Swaggerty ‘‘Blockhouse,’’ originally believed to have been built by James Swaggerty in 1787, is instead a small cantilever barn built by Jacob Stephens in 1860 and used for hog farming.

Annotation:
Grade three students in the Ontario education system learn about "pioneers" to satisfy the requirements of the Social Studies curriculum. Historical fiction can be used as an addition to the curriculum, and may offer children a way to learn about, and perhaps even identify with, Canada's past. The purpose of this study was to problematize two works of historical fiction that have been used in an Ontario classroom: Little house in the big woods (Wilder, 1932), and Ticket to Curlew (Lottridge, 1992). These stories present racialized, colonial depictions of European resettlers (i.e. "pioneers"), and perpetuate preferred or dominant discourses about history (Hall, 1993; Furniss, 1999). Presented as a "micro-context" (Cohen, 1992), this discussion utilizes Snead's (1994) analytical categories (i.e. marking, mythification, and omission) to understand how these works of juvenile historical fiction are racialized through the use of "colonial narratives" (Furniss, 1999). As an alternative to colonial, dominant readings of history, Paul Yee's Tales from Gold Mountain (1989) offers a collection of short stories, which focus on the possible experiences of Chinese-Canadians. While the characters in Wilder's and Lottridge's books are implicitly and explicitly marked as "white," Yee's characters are Chinese, providing readers with non-European Canadian history. Providing alternative narratives is important because, as some literature has shown, students may emotionally or physically disengage from the educational system if they feel that they are not given, nor are they encouraged to seek, negotiated or oppositional (Hall, 1993) readings of history that might reflect their identity, or life experiences (Dei, Mazzuca, Mclssac & Zine, 1998; James, 1994/1995).

This thesis provides an analysis of Shirley Plantation’s operation as a historic house museum from 1894 to the present period, and the Carter family’s dedication to keeping the estate within the family. The first chapter examines Shirley Plantation’s beginnings as a historic house museum as operated by two Carter women, Alice Carter Bransford and Marion Carter Oliver, who inherited the property in the late nineteenth century. The second chapter explores Shirley Plantation’s development as a popular historic site during the mid-twentieth century to the early part of the twenty-first century, and compares the site’s development to the interpretative changes that had been occurring at Colonial Williamsburg. The third chapter analyzes and critiques Shirley Plantation’s present interpretative focus as a historic site, with the fourth chapter offering suggestions for developing an exhibition that interprets the history of slavery at the plantation.

Annotation:
My thesis proposes a theory of relational identity development in Chicana literature. Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/La Frontera offers an interpretation of Chicana identity that is largely based on historical models and mythology, which many scholars have found useful in interpreting Chicana literature. However, I contend that another text, Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street, not only illustrates the need for an alternative paradigm for considering identity development, but in fact offers such an alternative. I argue that Cisneros shows a model for relational identity development, wherein the individual develops in the context of her community and is not determined solely by elements of myth or genealogy. In questioning the historical paradigm of identity development, I examine three key aspects associated with Chicana identity development: gender, home, and language. Employing the theories of Édouard Glissant, I discuss how individual identity development is better understood in terms of relationships and experience rather than historical models. For Chicanas, the roles of women have largely been interpreted as predetermined, set by the mythic figures La Malinche and La Virgen de Guadalupe. However, Cisneros's work shows that this historical tradition is less fruitful in understanding identity than recognizing individuals' experience in context of their relationships. With this communal understanding established, I question the common associations of home and Chicana identity. I argue that Cisneros challenges our very concept of home as she engages and counters the notions of theorist Gaston Bachelard. The idea of a house is metaphorical, becoming a space of communal belonging rather than a physical structure to separate individuals. Finally, I consider how both spoken and written language contribute to relational identity development. I argue that Cisneros's use of language demonstrates that not only does language provide the means for development within a community, but also the means for creation within that society. The theoretical implications of such a relational identity construct are not only an expansion of what is entailed in Chicana identity, but an invitation for broadening the community of theoretical discussion surrounding Chicana literature.

History
M.A.
Historic house museums are the focus of an ideological tension between preservation and interpretation within the public history community. At a time where many house museums are failing, preservationists advocate for solutions to the house museum dilemma focused on saving the building. Historians and other museum professionals point to the importance of the value of the collections, memories, and documents preserved within the house as critical tools for understanding and teaching American history. Of specific focus in this thesis is the role gender influence played in the formation of historic house museums and how an examination of its continuing effect on agency within heritage sites creates access points for cutting-edge public history and interpretation. This is done through a case study of the history of the Jacobsburg Historical Society's Boulton Historic Site in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The site was the location of the Boulton Gun Works, built in 1812 by the Henry family, manufacturers of the Pennsylvania Longrifle and key members of the early industrial community of Jacobsburg, located just north of the Moravian community of Nazareth.

The study has investigated a design intervention to the historically significant industrial precinct of Modderfontein. Modderfontein contains the first dynamite explosives factory in South Africa and is situated 20km northeast of Johannesburg. The area and its old buildings are relatively unknown. Due to the introduction of the Gautrain and the proposed development of the Modderfontein station and surrounds, the area will be densified and become more accessible. The intention of the framework proposed by the author is to activate the Main Street which contains the First Factory Manager’s house and the Dynamite Company Museum. This would be achieved by densifying the village with a series of buildings in clusters that have public, office and residential components. It is proposed that one of the clusters becomes a Book Village. The proposal will adhere to the various guidelines in a sensitive, contemporary manner.

Annotation:
This study investigates the phenomenon of “passing” for white and its effects on individuals, who “pass” or attempt to “pass.” The effects of “passing” that the study examines are the loss of the historical identity and the constant trauma of the psyche. Furthermore, this study examines the importance of the spirit(soul) of the “passing” person in returning to the African American community. The study is based on the premise that in order to gain the economic stability, education, and true freedom that are enjoyed by white society, persons have to “pass.” Therefore, African Americans who can cross the color line risk their lives and their sanity in hopes of capturing the American Dream. However, over time, these persons realize that the price of “passing” is too high, and thus, return to the African American community via the spirit. Thus, this study concludes that although the person who “passes” relinquishes the history and suffers emotionally by way of the psyche, the spiritual connection plays an integral role of restoring him/her to the African American community.

The choice of content and number of technologies that audiences view television with are increasingly expanding in the post-network era, leading those who use the medium to question its definition. In the wake of the Internet, online programming and streaming technologies, the death of television is frequently forecast.  Netflix’s 2013 release of their original online production House of Cards prompted popular media and trade journals alike to declare a revolution of television that would result in a paradigm shift of current production and viewing practices. House of Cards is esteemed for its distribution method and asserted advantages over traditional television by creators and executives surrounding the show, which calls for an examination of the specific practices that are dubbed ‘innovative’, as current television production practices have been put in place for years. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the claims surrounding the series through production and textual analysis. Second-hand sources are used to gather evidentiary claims surrounding the production, and analyzed using historical poetics analysis with Jason Mittell’s complex television definitions in order to make comparisons of particular elements of the creation, production and distribution of House of Cards. Making these areas its starting point, this inquiry provokes larger questions of the future of online television programming in general, and its role in the death of television in particular.

Historic house museums (HHMs) are contradictory spaces, private places made public. They (often) combine the real with the reproduction. Drawing from object reverence, taxonomy, and tableaux over a century and a half of practice, the American HHM arrives in the present as a Frankenstein's monster of nostalgia.

Chamounix Mansion has been a youth hostel since 1964. It has also been a historic house museum, though when it became one and when—if—it ever stopped being one is an open question. Chamounix is a space where the past, present, and future all share space, as guests move through historic spaces, have conversations about anything or nothing at all, and plan their next day, their next destination, their next major life move. It is a place that seems fertile for meaning-making. It also provides a fascinating case study of what HHMs have been and what they might become.

The Friends of Chamounix Mansion employed the methods of other HHMs as it tried to achieve recognition as an HHM in the 1960s, but by the 1980s, they began claiming the hostel’s usage as another form of authenticity.

As HHMs face a variety of challenges today, and seek to make meaning with visitors and neighbors alike, the example of Chamounix Mansion offers a case study of how embracing usage might offer new directions for meaning-making.

Historic house museums have been the subject of very little structured research. As ideal learning environments for young children they have the potential to facilitate very special educational interactions, yet children's experiences in house museums remain relatively unexplored, with very little professional analysis of the nature, the value or the impact of school visits. As museums, historic houses are educational institutions, yet with limited professional expertise and restricted resources as commonplace, many house museums provide very little in the way of structured educational experiences for schools. This study aims to increase our understanding of educational encounters in house museums. Using Falk and Dierking's Interactive Experience Model this thesis explores the personal, physical and social contexts of young children's visits to house museums. It follows the progress of children aged 5-8 years, as they participate in class visits to two very different kinds of house museum. A structured, age-appropriate education program implemented at Calthorpes' House is compared to the approach taken at Blundells' Cottage, where a lack of resources and professional expertise has resulted in unstructured school visits, typical of amateur house museums throughout Australia. The study directly compares these structured and non-structured museum visits to determine the immediate and long term value of constructed learning experiences in historic houses. The thesis concludes that the structure of a school visit has a significant influence on the museum experience. Research revealed that structured education programs prepare children better for their visit, allow for more successful interactive experiences on site, encourage enjoyable social interactions and result in more detailed museum memories. Finally this thesis outlines implications for house museums as a result of this research and makes recommendations to assist under-resourced house museums provide more structured, more informed educational interactions for schools.

Há uma rica expressão construtiva que perdura nas praias nordestinas através dos tempos: casas feitas do material fornecido pelo ambiente onde estão inseridas e que refletem uma cultura socioeconômica distinta. Estas construções têm muito a contar sobre sua formação. Este trabalho aprofunda o conhecimento histórico e tecnológico sobre estas construções apontando para sua formação cultural. Através de visitas em todoo litoral nordestino foi feito um levantamento fotográfico, arquitetônico e social sobre o que ainda está intacto tecnológica e culturalmente sobre estas construções para se estabelecer um padrão de pesquisa e análise. Padrão este que determine o nível depreservação cultural da comunidade (a menor influência externa possível) e de manutenção da técnica construtiva. Também se percebeu a necessidade de uma nomenclatura mais apropriada ao tema em questão. Uma nomenclatura que não apenas descreva, mas aponte sua formação e possíveis origens. Esta expressão construtiva é tratada como bem cultural e, portanto, digna de estudos aprofundados.

Esplanade Ridge is the largest downtown historic district in New Orleans, a place that is known as the home of the "last Creole aristocrats" and described as the French Creole version of St. Charles Avenue during the 1800's (Jensen A-I). This historically significant neighborhood is suffering much like other metropolitan areas in New Orleans. Amidst the urban neighborhoods ofNew Orleans often exists rampant property deterioration, crime, litter and population loss. Typical problems in any city, these frightening realities often make imagining the future of Esplanade Ridge a depressing experience. However, alongside the problems endures a rich cultural history and offering. New Orleans architectural treasures are among the finest in the nation; Esplanade Ridge boasts Greek Revival, Classic, Italianate, and High Victorian architectural styles built by such noted architects as Henry Howard, James Freret and James Gallier(Jensen A-I). Rich with history, Esplanade Ridge and all New Orleans neighborhoods must fight to maintain and improve their current condition, in order to ensure a positive cultural future for all New Orleans residents.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo abordar historicamente a construção física e simbólica da Casa do Bandeirante, um museu evocativo da época das bandeiras. Ela foi inaugurada em 1955, no encerramento das comemorações do IV Centenário da Cidade de São Paulo, tendo sido sua restauração realizada sob responsabilidade da comissão organizadora desses festejos. Primeira das \"casas históricas\" pertencente à Prefeitura Municipal, compõe o atual acervo arquitetônico do Museu da Cidade. Este projeto analisa o período que se estende de 1954 a 1964, durante a primeira fase do museu, sob a direção de Paulo Camilher Florençano, quando o espaço fora projetado para ser um cenário do modo de vida paulista durante o período colonial. Naquele momento a Casa do Bandeirante tratava heroicamente o \"ciclo das bandeiras\", mitificando-o, a partir de uma exposição por meio do period room, eixos conceituais da exposição que lá esteve até 1978. São objetivos desta dissertação compreender e analisar o processo conceitual e institucional de criação da Casa do Bandeirante pela Prefeitura de São Paulo, através da Comissão do IV Centenário da Cidade de São Paulo, problematizar a primeira montagem curatorial, com a formulação de uma identidade paulista calcada no mito sertanista e seus referenciais museológicos, a formação e o perfil de seu acervo de peças históricas.
This dissertation aims to approach, historically, the physical and symbolic construction of The Bandeirante House, an evocative museum of the time of \"bandeiras\" (former Brazilian settlers). It was inaugurated in 1955, at the end of the celebrations of the IV Centenary of the City of São Paulo, with its restoration being carried out under the responsibility of the organizing committee of those festivities. The first of the \"historical homes\" belonging to the city hall, it is part of the current architectural collection of São Paulo\'s city museums. The time covered in this project extends from 1955 to 1964, during the first period of the Museum, under the direction of Paul Camilher Florençano, when this cultural space was designed to present a scenario of the way of living in São Paulo during the colonizer period. At that moment, The Bandeirante House conceived heroically the \"Bandeirante Cycle\", dealing with as a myth by the presentation of an exhibition by period room, conceptual guidelines of the exhibition held until 1978. The goals of this dissertation are to analyze the conceptual and institutional creating process of the Bandeirante House, to understand and document its acquisition policy and to discuss the first long term exhibition of the institution, based the \"sertanista myth\" and its museum references.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a voz da personagem Manuela de Paula Ferrreira do romance histórico contemporâneo A casa das sete mulheres (2002), de Leticia Wierzchowski (1972). A análise consiste numa reflexão sobre o posicionamento transgressor da personagem, que apresenta uma voz abafada e dissonante no contexto do romance, podendo significar uma resistência ao sistema patriarcal brasileiro do século XIX. Baseia-se nos estudos discursivos de Bakhtin (1988) para abordar o estado de prisão, os costumes e as regras, a política e a guerra, tendo como objetivo temático o amor por Giuseppe Garibaldi. Procura-se, assim, realizar um estudo detalhado do diário íntimo e crítico em que a personagem anotava suas confidências, a fim de se compreender a sua voz e seu comportamento social. Para a análise desse diário, recorre-se aos conceitos de narração (GENETTE, 1979) e de memória (SPERBER, 2009), que permitem abranger toda a matéria transgressora nele implicada, no plano da civilidade, da exclusão e da submissão social, que acentua possíveis identidades (DELEUZE, 1995) como resposta a discursos autoritários. Por fim, o trabalho pretende discutir a tradição popular “Noiva de Garibaldi”, que tomou corpo depois que Giusepe Garibaldi dedicou a Manuela algumas linhas de suas memórias. Espera-se com isso contribuir para a compreensão dessa figura histórica e de seu papel na Guerra dos Farrapos.
This research intention specifically examines the voice of the character Manuela Paula Ferreira in The House of the Seven Women (2002), a contemporary historical novel creation by the brazilian Leticia Wierzchowski (1972). This analysis in the related novel is a way to meditate the transgressor´s position of the focus character, who in the context presents a muted and dissonante voice, that could mean the patriarcal system resistance in the XIX TH Century. Bakhtin´s (1988) discursive studies is the generic basis of this research, so essential theory for the survey to reveal Manoela´s state of prison feelings also in her perspectives from the social reflections, the rules , the politics until in the War and her thematic objective reminiscences in love with Giuseppe Garibaldi character. So the research seeks to carry out a detailed study toward the inward and critical diary in which the character Manoela wrote her confidences in order to understand herself own voice and her social behavior. For the analysis of this diary, this search also supports in the concepts of narration (GENETTE, 1979) and the memory (SPERBER, 2009), which allow to cover all the transgressive matter implied in it; in terms of civility, of the exclusion and social possible identities emphasizes (DELEUZE, 1995) like an answer of the authoritarian discourses. Finally, this cooperation intends to discuss the popular tradition "Bride of Garibaldi", which took shape after Giusepe Garibaldi dedicated to Manuela some lines of his memories. Then this research expectancy is also to contribute with the understanding of this historical figure and her role in the War of the Clutches/ Guerra dos Farrapos.

To investigate whether the American historic house museum sector preserves evidence of past inter-cultural encounters that could increase its relevance to today’s scholars and audiences, I charged a seven-member team made up of members from different ethnic, socio-economic, educational and generational backgrounds to visit and produce photographs at three historic house museums in St. Louis, Missouri. The photo-voice data was created, gathered, and submitted by the participant team members at the height of the social unrest triggered by Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter movement. It argues for the relevance and sustainability of the historic house museum sector as a venue for the development of new approaches to understanding past intercultural encounters and, in fact, to suggest redesigning the way museum interpretation is practiced. The visual data provided by the participant team for this dissertation demonstrates how people bring their own perspectives to respond to, critique, question and embrace what the museum asserts and displays about past inter-cultural encounters. The research suggests that the museum has the potential to shift its interpretive role and practice from knowledge broker and expert to become an interpretive space where new hermeneutics-informed understanding in the tradition of Gadamer continually emerges iteratively through the interaction invited between the museum, its content, and the various members of its audiences. It argues that, if the museum is to remain relevant, especially in particularly difficult moments, it has to provide a space to honor and respectfully both solicit and receive the voices, understandings, and even the pain experienced by each member of the affected community.

In the United Kingdom (UK) historic houses form part of the tourism and leisure market. Heritage encompasses a wide variety of establishments including historic houses, historic gardens, heritage centres, town centres, countryside and museums. The UK has a vast cultural resource in this respect and the research intends to concentrate on establishments that are known as the "built heritage" and that are often described as "historic" or "country houses". Millions of visitors annually visit properties to experience an insight into earlier periods of British history and culture. Many operate similarly to small businesses and often have a more diverse range of needs. A model was developed for the study to show the information needs of historic houses and the information seeking behaviour of those managing historic houses. Data have been collected both via questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires involved the investigation of those managing (owners, administrators, custodians) heritage establishments. The interview questions were put directly to individuals responsible for properties from a geographically dispersed area, with different categories of ownership (English Heritage, National Trust, private, local authority) and with different levels of visitor traffic. The survey focused on diversity of activities, information provision, use of information, developments (including technology) and collaboration. Historic houses have been part of a growing sector, allied to the growth in the leisure industry, which has led to increasing demands on their time and finances. In a world that increasingly provides more information than can be handled effectively by any one individual, properties need to be able to make effective use of this to protect the heritage for future generations. Building on the empirical work recommendations are made on policy making, education, audits, co-operation and technology to improve the provision and management of information within the sector to support these establishments. The research represents the first study to investigate the existing situation of historic houses and their information needs in the UK, to try and provide an overview of the sector and information provision and how that might be improved.

The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Federal Writers' Project were two government survey programs from the 1930s that, in part, documented slavery in America. Historically stakeholders utilized these resources in isolation of one another. Coordination between the two programs in this study has identified five documented slave houses from the HABS collection that are directly linked to a slave narrative recorded by the Writers' Project. The slave narrative brings to life the spatial density, degree of accommodations, nature of the facilities, and attitudes of those who inhabited the slave house. The relationship between the historical record and the stories of the inhabitants is crucial to our understanding and interpretation of the lifeways and settings of enslaved African Americans in the Antebellum South. Historic preservationists now have five personal accounts of the historic plantation landscape upon which to build future interdisciplinary appreciation and research.

This study explores the use of gardens and agricultural spaces at historic house museums, and the potential these spaces have for supporting positive change. At the turn of the twenty-first century, house museums grappled with a crisis of limited funding and ever shrinking visitor capacity, which continues to affect the success of these spaces today. I argue that garden spaces can provide interpretive revitalization, community relevancy, and increased income for historic house museums that can positively support a house museum. By surveying house museums throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, I show that garden spaces provide a tool for house museums to gain stability amidst crisis.

In conducting the research for this project, I examined the historic and contemporary public programming at nineteen separate museums. This sample of museums includes both publicly funded and private sites in both the North and South. By bringing together a diverse group of museums, this project examines national trends alongside regional traditions as well as the role of organizations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Park Service, and a host of private institutions in determining different interpretive foci

The purpose of this study is to carry out a research on History and Literature in the novel The Illustrious House of Ramires (1900), by the Portuguese writer Eça de Queirós, aiming to show how his fiction builds up the representation of historical events, and discussing the discursive and narrative dimension, both in Literature and History. A theoretical-critical analysis is methodologically developed in the narrative The Illustrious House of Ramires, allowing the intersection of history and fiction: the historical novel "The Tower of D. Ramires", written by the character Gonçalo Mendes Ramires, an impoverished aristocrat, decadent, who had weak moral values. This analysis is developed from the theoretical studies that focus on the relationship between Literature and History, and the historical novel as a hybrid genre that makes these relationships possible. In this context, Georg Lukacs’ study, The Historical Novel, is the guiding point. The theories of dialogism, by Mikhail Bakhtin, and intertextuality, by Julia Kristeva, are also valuable for this study, because they allow the comprehension of essential elements in the construction of the Portuguese writer’s novel, once the writing of the historical novel "The Tower of D. Ramires", named "The Last Eça" by traditional critics, allows the dialogism with Walter Scott, Alexandre Herculano and the intertextuality with their respective novels in this genre. The historical novel "The Tower of D. Ramires", created by the character Gonçalo throughout the narrative, transforms History into a reason of representation and a theme of rewriting the portrayed period, the Middle Age at the time of D. Alfonso II. Eça de Queirós’ fictional text promotes a rereading of the Portuguese past and a questioning of the present, the declining end of the nineteenth century in Portugal. The emergence of History in the development of the narrative implies an attitude of interpretation of the Portuguese identity, especially in relation to values and attitudes that were consolidated in medieval times and that, at the end of the nineteenth century, were corrupted and disfigured. This research emphasizes the relevance of the book The Illustrious House of Ramires, in the production of the Portuguese writer, as a text that sets up a provocative intersection of Literature and History, as well as the artistic importance of the last phase of the Portuguese writer - called "The Last Eça" – period during which he – unlike the beliefs of the traditional criticism that argued that "The Last Eça" was a passive and accommodating bourgeois – continued to contribute to the critical examination of the Lusitanian society at the end of the nineteenth century, especially in relation to the questioning that the writer articulates, in the novel, about the decadent aristocracy of Portugal.
Esta dissertação investiga o entrecruzamento entre a Literatura e a História no romance A Ilustre Casa de Ramires (1900), do escritor português oitocentista Eça de Queirós, tendo como objetivo evidenciar a maneira como a ficção queirosiana realiza a representação dos acontecimentos históricos, discutindo sobre a dimensão discursiva e narrativa, tanto da Literatura, quanto da História. Metodologicamente, desenvolve-se uma análise teórico-crítica da forma que dentro da narrativa de A Ilustre Casa de Ramires permite o entrecruzamento entre o histórico e o ficcional: o romance histórico “Torre de D. Ramires”, escrito pela personagem- protagonista Gonçalo Mendes Ramires, um aristocrata empobrecido e com fracos valores morais, um exímio decadente. A análise é desenvolvida a partir das obras teóricas que focalizam as relações entre a Literatura e a História, e o romance histórico, enquanto gênero híbrido que permite essas relações, sendo que o estudo de Georg Lukács, intitulado The Historical Novel, é o ponto norteador. As teorias do dialogismo, de Mikhail Bakhtin, e da intertextualidade, de Júlia Kristeva, também foram de grande valia para elaboração deste estudo, visto que permitem perceber elementos essenciais na construção da obra queirosiana, em função da escrita do romance histórico “Torre de D. Ramires” proporcionar, ao denominado pela crítica tradicional de “Último Eça”, o dialogismo com Walter Scott, Alexandre Herculano e a intertextualidade com as suas respectivas realizações nesse gênero. O romance histórico “Torre de D. Ramires”, escrito ao longo da narrativa queirosiana pela personagem Gonçalo, faz da História motivo de representação e tema de reescrita do tempo retratado, a Idade Média da época de D. Afonso II. O texto ficcional de Eça de Queirós promove uma releitura do passado português para realizar um questionamento do presente, o declinante fim do século XIX em Portugal. A emergência da História na tessitura narrativa implica em uma atitude de interpretação da identidade portuguesa, principalmente no que concerne aos valores e atitudes que foram consolidados no tempo medieval e que no fim do Oitocentos estavam corrompidos e desfigurados. Esta investigação procurou destacar a relevância da obra A Ilustre Casa de Ramires dentro da produção queirosiana, como texto que configura um instigante entrecruzamento entre a Literatura e a História, assim como a importância da derradeira fase artística do escritor português – a denominada de “Último Eça” –, fase na qual o romancista português – diferentemente do que preconiza a crítica tradicional queirosiana, visto que para esta o “Último Eça” foi um burguês passivo e acomodado – continuou a contribuir para o exame crítico da sociedade lusitana do final do século XIX, principalmente em relação à problematização que o escritor articula na obra aqui enfocada acerca da aristocracia decadente de Portugal.

The present study aims to investigate the composition of historical plasters to get information about their material characteristics and their technology. Plaster samples were obtained from four Ankara Citadel houses built in late Ottoman period. In order to determine the raw material characteristics and mineralogical properties of plasters
chemical analyses, optical observation of cross sections, petrographic analyses of thin sections, elemental analyses by ICP-OES, X-ray powder diffraction analyses for the determination of mineral phases, thermogravimetric analyses and FTIR analyses were carried out. Interpretation of all the analytical examination was used to understand the composition and unique character of plaster samples studied. Observation of thin sections revealed more plaster layers than those observed in cross sections. Up to twelve layers could be observed with different colours, such as blue, red, yellow, green, white and brown. Generally, thicknesses of white plaster layers were found to be thicker than the others. In two samples, two black boundaries between plaster layers were identified which could be an indication of the use of asphalt for isolation purposes, like dampness proofing or heat insulation. Soluble salt contents of the plaster samples were in the range 3.04%-9.22%, with an average being 6.62%. The anions identified were Cl-, SO42-. In few samples, PO43-, NO2- and NO3- were found. Binder was found to be lime and gypsum. The amount of binder in terms of total calcium oxide, CaO, was found to be in the range of 33.5-43.6%, with an average being 37.9%. Amount of aggregate was about 62.1% as average. The main minerals identified in plaster samples were calcite and gypsum. Gypsum might be added to increase the strength of the plaster. Beside calcite and gypsum, quartz and pozzolanic activity related mineral, Opal-A, were found in some of the samples. In red plaster layers hematite mineral was also identified. Other colour effective elements were found to be Fe, Sb, Mn, Cu, Cr and Ni. Presence of organic additives was observed but clear identification was not established.

This report is the result of a degree project in building engineering, at an advanced level. The project evaluated a building from a technical and historical point of view, and focused on its energy consumption, particularly the energy used for heating. The building in question was a small apartment building in Strömsholm, Sweden. It was made in 1902, from vertical logs, a not so common form of the traditional log house. The goal of the project was to evaluate if the energy consumption could be reduced in accordance with building preservation regulations, that is without damaging any of the building’s cultural or historical values. The building was surveyed with the help of archive and literature studies, interviews and inspections. Based on these findings, supplementary insulation on the inner side of the climate screen was decided on. The program IDA Indoor Climate and Energy was used to make computer simulations of the energy consumption of the building for five different alternatives of supplementary insulation. Part of the project was also to investigate whether IDA Indoor Climate and Energy was suitable for energy simulations of old buildings. The moisture balance of the outer walls was calculated manually to see if the supplemental insulation constituted a risk when it came to the moisture sensitivity of the construction. The result of the computer simulations, combined with building physics, shows that the energy consumption for heating could be reduced, especially if the roof was to be insulated. However, these results cannot and should not be seen as anything but indications, because of the uncertainty of the input data. The data on ventilation and air flows was considered to be one of the main sources of error. Furthermore, there were signs that the design of the computer models was far from optimal. The result of the moisture calculations shows that the moisture sensitivity is indeed increased. IDA Indoor Climate and Energy was judged as more suitable for simulations of new buildings than of old ones, due to the complexity of the latter, but the program can still be used as an aid for energy evaluations of old buildings if it is used in the right way.
Denna rapport är resultatet av ett examensarbete i byggnadsteknik på avancerad nivå. Arbetet gick ut på att undersöka en byggnad ur ett tekniskt och kulturhistoriskt perspektiv, med inriktning på hushållning av energi. Föremålet för undersökningen var ett flerbostadshus i restimmer, uppfört 1902 i Strömsholm, Västmanland. Målet var att undersöka om byggnadstekniska åtgärder behövdes för att minska energiåtgången, främst den för aktiv uppvärmning, i byggnaden. Dessa åtgärder skulle utformas så att byggnadens bevarandevärda särdrag inte går förlorade, i enlighet med Plan- och bygglagens bestämmelser om ändring av byggnader. Med hjälp av arkivsökningar, litteraturstudier, intervjuer och undersökningar kartlades byggnaden. Utifrån dess förutsättningar bestämdes förslag för energibesparande åtgärder, fem olika alternativ för invändig tilläggsisolering. För att beräkna byggnadens energiåtgång och hur mycket de olika alternativen skulle kunna påverka denna gjordes simuleringar i programmet IDA Indoor Climate and Energy. En av frågeställningarna i arbetet var huruvida detta program var lämpligt för energisimuleringar av äldre byggnader eller inte. Beräkningar av den relativa luftfuktigheten i ytterväggen gjordes för hand för att bedöma fuktskaderisken i konstruktionen efter tilläggsisolering. Indata till fuktberäkningarna och datorsimuleringarna hämtades från litteraturen eller utgjordes av uppskattningar. Resultat av datorsimuleringarna, tillsammans med byggnadsfysiska resonemang, visar att det går att minska energiåtgången för uppvärmning, driftel och tappvarmvatten, i synnerhet vid tilläggsisolering av taket. Dock kan inte dessa resultat ses som något annat än indikationer eftersom osäkerheterna i indata för modellerna var för stora. Bristande indata för ventilationen bedömdes vara en av de största felkällorna. Dessutom föreligger vissa reservationer gällande modellernas utformning. Resultatet av fuktberäkningarna visar att väggarna blir känsliga för fuktskador vid invändig tilläggsisolering. IDA Indoor Climate and Energy bedöms vara lämpligare för simuleringar av nyproducerade byggnader än av äldre byggnader på grund av komplexiteten hos de senare, men det kan ändå fungera som ett hjälpmedelvid energiutvärderingar av sådana om det används rätt.

Annotation:
The thesis examines conceptions and experiences of space in later medieval and early modern England with specific reference to the Yorkshire Wolds, a region of low chalk hills in the historic East Riding of Yorkshire. Particular attention is paid to the spatial and symbolic relationships between manor houses, parish churches and rural settlements in the period before c. 1600, and to the ways power was articulated through such a landscape. Chapter IV examines evidence for early church foundations and argues that the geographical relationships between manor houses and churches evident in the Wolds and elsewhere in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were not simply an outcome of earlier pre-Conquest practices. The remainder of the thesis explores the continued meaning of these relationships in the later medieval and early modern period, arguing that while landowners might constitute or maintain their power through the architecture of their houses or patronage of nearby churches, these practices were at least partially dependent on the geographical relationships between manor, churches and settlements. Chapters V and VI examine the use and meaning of manorial and church space in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in greater detail. Both chapters are attentive to the ways that manorial lords might articulate their gentility, status and power, as well as their piety, through these spaces. Conversely, the thesis also investigates evidence for public use of manorial and church space, and consideration is given to the ways manor houses and churches might be constituted and experienced as public, private, secular or religious spaces. The thesis also examines evidence for the meaning of private space and property within the wider landscape and in doing so, investigates a variety of sites at which individuals and groups other than the gentry might assert identity, status and power. The thesis concludes by suggesting that buildings and landscapes not only reflected the status, wealth and lineage of those who occupied and used them, but also provided sites through which social status and political power could be actively negotiated and maintained.
