MUSEUMS AND ART GALLERIES
=552.= There are museums of all kinds in existence, some of them of
world-wide importance, and they may be roughly classified into the
following groups:
GENERAL MUSEUMS.--These are collections of a miscellaneous kind,
comprising art, science, archæological and other objects, and aiming
more or less at universality. The British Museum was at one time a
universal collection, but since it was divided into art, ethnological,
natural history and industrial departments, it no longer forms a general
collection under one roof. Soane’s Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields,
London, is a general museum, and there are many others in the provinces.
NATIONAL MUSEUMS.--Collections illustrative of the arts, manufactures,
antiquities, literature and history of a nation. These range in extent
from the great German, Hungarian and French museums, down to museums of
national antiquities, like those of the Societies of Antiquaries of
England, Scotland and Ireland.
SCIENCE MUSEUMS.--Comprising Anatomical, Botanical, Geological,
Chemical, Physical, General Natural History, Astronomical, Ethnological
and other varieties. Typical examples are the Hunterian Museum of
Anatomy at the Royal College of Surgeons, London; the Herbarium at Kew;
the Museum of Practical Geology; the Pharmaceutical Society; the Natural
History Museum at South Kensington; the United Service Museum (Naval and
Military) at Whitehall; and the historical collections of the British
Museum which include Ethnology.
LOCAL MUSEUMS.--These are to be found in all parts of the country, and
they usually serve to illustrate and preserve the natural history and
antiquities of a particular district; and they differ from national
museums, in being restricted to a particular locality.
SPECIAL MUSEUMS.--Of these there is practically no end. They have been
formed to illustrate certain restricted departments of science, art or
history, such as Hygiene, Numismatics, Watch-making, Heraldry, Costume,
etc., and they resemble exhibitions of a special kind, save that they
are permanent.
=553.= Generally speaking, a museum is a collection of the objects which
go towards the formation of a subject, just as a library is a collection
of the literature connected with a subject or subjects. The museum is
necessary to the material conception of a subject, just as literature is
essential as the permanent record of the subject. For example, in
tracing the evolution of the printed book from its manuscript forms, one
can form an idea of the appearance of such books by reading up the
relative literature, and examining a few facsimiles, and so on; but, in
order to realize in a perfect way the aspect, atmosphere and details of
early writing and printing, one must go to the great exhibitions or
museums of such books at the British Museum or John Rylands Library,
Manchester. It is the same with machinery. While a diagram of a machine
as it appears in a book may be comprehensible to a few specially
educated minds, it would be a mere puzzle to an ordinary human being
unless he could go to a museum like that at South Kensington and see a
working model of the machine in operation. He could then realize in a
practical and concrete way the merely graphic or theoretical view
afforded by the book.
=554.= All the great State museums in the country have been established
under the provisions of special Acts of Parliament. Some of these, like
the various acts establishing the British Museum, date from the
eighteenth century, while others are much more recent. It is not
proposed to deal with the legislation and history of the State museums,
nor is it necessary to do more than describe, later on, their relations
with the municipal museums which may now be considered.
=555.= In 1845 was passed the first Museums Act (8 & 9 Vict., c. 43)
“for encouraging the establishment of museums in large towns,” under
which the local authorities of towns over 10,000 of population were
permitted to erect museums and levy a halfpenny rate. No specimens could
be bought, but an entrance fee of 1d. could be charged. This Act was
practically inoperative, as only Canterbury, Warrington, Leicester,
Dover, Salford and a few other places adopted it, and in 1850 it was
incorporated in the first Public Libraries Act, 1850 (13 & 14 Vict., c.
65), which repealed it and added the permissive clauses which existed
till 1893. This Act in its turn was repealed by that of 1855, and again
this was repealed by the Public Library Act of 1892 and subsequent
amendments, which remain the leading Acts under which libraries may be
established, with such subsidiary departments as museums and art
galleries. A digest of the powers conferred on local authorities by
those various Acts appears in Section 4 of this _Manual_. The
authorities seem to have become aware of the difficulty of supporting so
many institutions out of one restricted rate, because in 1891 was passed
“An Act to enable Urban Authorities to provide and maintain Museums and
Gymnasiums.” Under this Act, which did not apply to Scotland or the
County of London, but only to England and Ireland, local authorities
were enabled to levy a special rate of ½d. per pound for museum
purposes, and a rate of ½d. per pound for gymnasium purposes, and to
make regulations for the purposes of both kinds of institutions. In 1901
this Act was extended to the County of London by the “Public Libraries
Act, 1901.” A resolution of the local authority is sufficient for the
purpose of adopting this Act, and the regulations for adoption are
similar to those prescribed for the Public Libraries Acts. The principal
clauses of the Act are as follows:
_Clause 4._--“An urban authority may provide and maintain museums for
the reception of local antiquities or other objects of interest, and
gymnasiums with all the apparatus ordinarily used therewith, and may
erect any buildings, and generally do all things necessary for the
provision and maintenance of such museums and gymnasiums.”
_Clause 5._--“A museum provided under this Act shall be open to the
public not less than three days in every week free of charge, but
subject thereto an urban authority may admit any person or class of
persons thereto as they think fit, and may charge fees for such
admission, or may grant the use of the same or of any room therein,
either gratuitously or for payment, to any person for any lecture or
exhibition or for any purpose of education or instruction. . . .”
Full power is given by other clauses to make all necessary regulations
as to hours, staff, order, etc., in both museums and gymnasiums, and for
borrowing money for buildings or other purposes.
Separate accounts are to be kept, and “The amount expended by an urban
authority under this Act shall not in any year exceed the amount
produced by a rate of a halfpenny in the pound for a museum, and the
like amount for a gymnasium established under this Act.”
=556.= A new provision in legislation of this kind is contained in
Clause 12, which empowers an urban authority to _sell_ a museum or
gymnasium after seven years’ trial, if it is deemed unnecessary or too
expensive, but only with the consent of the Local Government Board. Any
moneys received from such sale are to be applied, in the first instance,
to the repayment of loans, and if not all required for such a purpose,
may, with the approval of the Local Government Board, “be applied to any
purpose to which capital moneys are properly applicable.”
=557.= It is further provided (Clause 13) that the powers given to urban
authorities under the Act “shall be deemed to be in addition to and not
in derogation of any other powers conferred by Act of Parliament, law,
or custom, and such other powers may be exercised in the same manner as
if this Act had not been passed.” In other words, the powers conferred
by the “Public Libraries Acts,” for example, with regard to museums,
still hold good, and the new powers created by the “Museums and
Gymnasiums Act” can be exercised as an addition to them. It should be
noted that, in addition to the general legislation contained in the
Public Libraries and Museums Acts, many private or local Acts have been
passed, under which different localities have obtained power to spend
money on the provision of museums and art galleries, greatly in excess
of the limits imposed by the general Acts.
=558.= This represents practically the whole of the legislation
connected with municipal museums, and it may be inferred, from the
financial provision allowed by Parliament, that no museum which depends
entirely upon the halfpenny rate can be in a very flourishing condition.
The deficiencies of the rate-income are in many cases made up by the
donations and bequests of private donors; occasionally public bodies
render valuable aid; not infrequently the closely restricted library
rate is nibbled at and diverted from its real purpose; and very often
the State, represented by the Victoria and Albert Museums at South
Kensington, circulates useful and valuable loan collections. In these
various ways museums are helped, and within the past few years, or since
the Museums Association was established in 1890, the organization,
scientific value and equipment of museums have improved in a very marked
degree. No doubt in some localities can still be seen the old-fashioned
hotch-potch collection of miscellaneous lumber styled a museum, wherein
a stuffed walrus jostles a suit of armour, and local fossils and
meteorites are beautifully mixed up with birds’ eggs, flint implements
and coins. Such collections only require an alligator, and a canoe from
Fiji on the walls, to be perfect specimens of the Wardour Street kind of
museum. Happily this kind of omnium-gatherum museum is rapidly dying out
before the advance of rational classification, and in some cases where
collections are small and contained in one room, yet by means of
intelligent arrangement incongruous objects are kept apart, and the
little museum is made an instructive nucleus, instead of a high-class
marine-store.
=559.= This leads to such questions as the elements of museum
classification and description, which are the most important points in
the relations between libraries and schools and museums. Without
classification a general or even special museum is comparatively
useless. Without effective arrangement and descriptive labelling the
specimens remain uninstructive and misleading. On these two points
museums resemble libraries, and it is only when they agree in the
essentials of classification and description that the institutions
become mutually beneficial. A well-classified and arranged cabinet of
minerals, with a full set of descriptive labels, is simply invaluable to
the student of mineralogy and geology. When, therefore, a student is
referred from the literature to the objects described in the text-books,
he is educated to the extent of being able to appreciate the fact that
objects are grouped together in respect of certain resemblances, and
that classification into related groups is the basis of the science he
is studying. On going to a museum of specimens, such a student, if he
were an entomologist, would naturally expect to find together all the
butterflies, bees, beetles, flies and other objects properly classified
according to order, genera and species. If he found all the moths, bugs,
flies and beetles mingled in one huge jumble, and labelled Insects, the
collection would be uninstructive and would throw no light on his
previous reading.
=560.= Whatever set of concrete objects a student sets out to examine in
a museum, after being referred from his books, he expects to find some
relationship between the literature he has studied and the objects he
means to compare and examine. On this principle all the large museums of
the world are arranged, and the result is that no student who has
previously acquired an elementary knowledge of an art or science from
text-books should experience any difficulty in finding his way about a
museum. It is true that, for purposes of popular display and to tickle
up juvenile interest in natural history, some museums exhibit fine
specimens of birds or mammals out of their order, where they will
attract notice, but the bulk of the collection will be found in strictly
classified order. In many important museums it has been found useful to
illustrate animal structure and comparative anatomy by means of key or
type collections, which are kept apart from the genera classification,
yet serve to illustrate important points in comparative zoology, which
it would be difficult to do on a very extensive scale. There are many
text-books written exactly on the same principle. One author takes a
rabbit, another a crayfish, and from these bases teach the main facts of
animal structure which apply all round. So in a museum. While it would
be absolutely impossible to repeat at every centre such a fine
collection of minerals as has been gathered together at the Natural
History Museum at South Kensington, yet it is possible to illustrate the
main facts and classification of mineralogy by means of a selection of
actual specimens or models. Similarly at the British Museum, the student
of early printing does not find himself confronted with a complete
chronological sequence of all the books printed in the fifteenth century
to illustrate the incunabula, but he finds a selection, or type
collection, which in the most effectual way traces the development and
evolution of the printed book. The more these type collections are
adopted and utilized, the greater will become the value of museums for
elementary science teaching, and as most museums are unable to collect
and display specimens of _everything_ in the world, it is obvious that
they must do as libraries have to do--select only what is best, most
typical and instructive, and leave indiscriminate collecting to the
great universal museums supported by the State.
=561.= A well-arranged and classified museum, whether of a general
character, or which is confined to local botany, zoology, geology and
archæology, has great bearing on the educational work of public
libraries. It enables a reader to _realize_ the material side of his
studies, and by showing him related objects in a definite order,
broadens his outlook on the subject, and brings home to him the reality
of the matter. As object-lessons are to school-children, so are museums
to library readers.
=562.= Art galleries are divisible into three classes--1. Those
maintained or assisted by the State=the National Gallery; Scottish
National Art Gallery, etc. 2. Those endowed by private munificence or by
public bodies=the Wallace Collection; Tate Gallery; the Walker Art
Gallery, Liverpool, the Harris Art Gallery, Preston, etc. 3. Those
maintained from local rates levied under special Acts of Parliament; or,
under the Public Libraries Acts, which empower local authorities to
support art galleries out of the penny rate. There is no special Act for
the establishment of art galleries similar to the Museums Act already
described, and apart from special Acts, the Public Libraries Acts are
the only ones which empower the establishment of art galleries. Needless
to say, such powers are rarely exercised unless other sources of
endowment or income are forthcoming. So many single pictures cost more
than the produce of a penny rate in most towns, that it is, on the face
of it, absurd to think of art galleries only as departments of public
libraries. In some cases part of the library rate is no doubt used to
defray part of the expenses of art galleries, particularly buildings,
but it is very unusual to purchase pictures from such a meagre fund. Art
galleries are greatly assisted by loan exhibitions contributed to by
artists, picture owners, both public and private, and the national art
authorities acting through the Victoria and Albert Museum at South
Kensington. Annually the South Kensington authorities lend to over 400
museums, exhibitions, schools of art and science, etc., no fewer than
47,000 objects, of which 46,000 are works of art, including pictures,
embroideries, photographs, metal-work, pottery, etc. But for these
circulating collections, comparatively few of the smaller art galleries
of the country could keep alive interest simply by means of their own
permanent collections. It is only in large towns, like London,
Edinburgh, Dublin, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, etc., where great and
representative collections are kept illustrating the leading schools of
art, that any direct educational value can be said to attach to art
galleries. So far as educational value is concerned, an art gallery
cannot for a moment be compared to a museum or a library. Its appeal on
the educational side is to a very small section of the public, and even
to this section such appeal is limited by the size and character of the
collection. The student of early Italian or Flemish painting can learn
nothing in a little provincial art gallery, containing fifty or sixty
modern landscapes and figure subjects; and the student of Impressionist
painting will not find much to help him in a gallery composed of
examples of old Dutch and French masters. The value of an art gallery
depends, therefore, on its size and representative nature so far as art
students are concerned, and on the appeal which fine paintings make to
the higher feelings and perceptions of mankind for its influence as a
creator of taste and stimulator of a love of the beautiful. When an art
collection takes the form of a special exhibition illustrative of a
subject, rather than a particular school of painting, its value and
interest are enormously increased. Suppose, for example, that an art
gallery is devoted to an exhibition illustrative of some great
historical subject, like the career of Napoleon I. The value of the
pictorial side of the subject at once stands forth with great
prominence, and one can realize the educational value of art in the
exposition of history. But in a mere random collection of pictures, on
all kinds of subjects, by all kinds of painters, there is no kind of
consecutive teaching or definite connexion with the art literature
contained in a library, and, therefore, such a miscellaneous selection
of pictures is chiefly valuable as a kind of vague appeal to the
æsthetic feelings of the casual observer. Only great collections like
those of the National Gallery in London, and the Louvre at Paris, can be
said to illustrate the literature of art, and it is chiefly in regard to
such art galleries that some direct connexion can be traced between art
collections and libraries.

APPENDIX I
THE NOMENCLATURE OF LIBRARY POSITIONS[18]
[18] A report contributed by L. Stanley Jast and W. C. Berwick Sayers
to the Congrès International des Archivistes et des
Bibliothécaires, Bruxelles, 1910.
=564.= It will be difficult but it is desirable to attempt to resolve
some order out of the terminological chaos at present existing.
The British Government has many library positions in its control, but
the term librarian is only sparingly recognized. There are “librarians”
of the two Houses of Parliament, the British Museum, the Board of
Education, Admiralty, Patent Office and other Government departments,
but only in the Houses of Parliament are there any assistant-librarians
so-named. The heads of departments in the British Museum are called
“keepers,” a traditional term, and the assistant librarians “Assistants
in the Department of Printed Books” or “Manuscripts,” as the case may
be, which as a term in no way connects them with librarianship. In the
Patent Office the term “Custodian” was formerly employed, but was
dropped some eight years ago for “Assistant in the Library.” In the
other Government or Civil Service libraries the assistant librarian is
usually rated and named as a first- or second-class clerk, as the case
may be. It would be greatly to the advantage of librarianship if a
proper Government recognition of the term librarian as representing a
specially trained type of man rather than the occupant of a certain
position could be obtained. At present it seems that clerks in any
Government office possessing a library can be moved from the office
proper to the library, and _vice versa_.
=565.= In municipal and similar public libraries the chaos is even more
pronounced. The principal officer calls himself Chief, Principal, Head,
Borough or City Librarian, or merely Librarian. Often the term Chief
Librarian is adopted where the owner of the name is the only librarian
on the staff, and the term “Chief” in these circumstances is
meaningless.
=567.= In the nomenclature of assistant librarians the confusion is
worse still. The principal assistant to the librarian is called the
Deputy, Chief Assistant, Assistant- or Sub-Librarian in large libraries;
but the terminology is imitated by the smaller libraries, and it is no
uncommon matter to hear of an assistant with a salary of £30 per annum
called a “sub-librarian,” and “chief assistant” and similar terms are
used very loosely to the bewilderment of library authorities, who find
that the Deputy Librarian of a great library like Birmingham holds
apparently the same position as the untrained lad in a village library.
=568.= It is undoubtedly desirable to formulate a series of definitions
which should govern the application of names to library positions. The
resulting nomenclature if generally adopted would prevent the anomalies
referred to. No librarian should call himself a chief librarian unless
he directs the work of librarians; the adjective is distinctly a
relative term. Similarly a deputy- or a sub-librarian should be clearly
a librarian of some technical equipment and training though he does not
happen to hold an independent position. To apply this name to a young or
boy assistant is undignified and is bound to cause confusion.
=569.= The following definitions are therefore tentatively recommended
for general adoption as solving the difficulties under consideration. At
the same time, human nature being what it is, we shall probably never do
away altogether with a meaningless and inflated use of official terms in
small libraries, and anything like a general adoption of our proposed
definitions in the larger libraries is perhaps unlikely. Even so, the
adoption of these or other definitions for all general statistical
purposes would be of great advantage.
SUGGESTED NOMENCLATURE AND DEFINITIONS OF LIBRARY POSITIONS
_Chief Librarian._--The head librarian of a number of libraries, or a
library system, under the charge of “librarians.” In the case of a
single large library (_e.g._ the British Museum), where the departmental
chiefs may fitly be styled librarians, the term Chief Librarian may be
used to designate the head; with such exception the term should never be
employed for the head of a single library.
_Deputy Librarian._--The principal assistant to a Chief Librarian, whose
work belongs strictly to the general administration of a system. Not to
be confused with Sub-Librarian.
_Librarian._--The head of a library. Not to be confused with Chief
Librarian, the head of a system of libraries.
_Sub-Librarian._--The principal assistant to a librarian, whose work is
independent of departments, but not independent of a building. Not to be
confused with Deputy Librarian.
_Librarian-in-Charge._--The officer in charge of a district or branch
library, or one of the departments of a central library, in a system
under the control of a Chief Librarian. Not to be confused with
Librarian.
_Branch Librarian._--Term not to be used. See Librarian-in-Charge.
_Chief Assistant._--An officer in charge of a department, subordinate to
a Sub-Librarian. If subordinate to a Deputy Librarian the corresponding
office would be Librarian-in-Charge.
_Senior Assistant._--A higher grade of library assistant.
_Junior Assistant._--A lower grade of library assistant.
_Attendant._--A person who carries books, and performs other mechanical
unskilled routine. If a youth, the term “page” may be used.
_Janitor._--An officer (generally in uniform) whose principal duty is to
maintain order in the building.
_Clerk._--A person employed in general clerking work, not a part of the
professional library staff.
_Probationer._--An assistant “on trial,” or not permanently appointed,
who may or may not be paid.

THE LIBRARIAN’S LIBRARY
=570.= The following is a classified list of the principal books which a
librarian will require as the chief tools of his profession. It does not
claim to be a complete bibliography, many valuable pamphlets and
publications of institutions being omitted owing to limited space.
The majority of the works mentioned should be available for the benefit
of the staff of the larger libraries, while two suggestive selections
are indicated by asterisks as follows:
** selection for a small library, income less than £1500.
* selection for a medium library, income less than £3000.

with prints as well as with books; and bibliography, book-buying,
‘forgotten books,’ books fresh from the publisher, literary biography,
and all things that come under the very generous classification
‘curiosities of literature’ are adequately treated in its pages by men
who know and love their subject.”--_Westminster Gazette._
“‘The Sign of the Open Book’ is an inspiring registration. ‘The
Bookman’s Journal and Print Collector,’ issued under that banner, is a
gem among weekly periodicals.”--_Daily Express._

lines or intended for Fig. 172.

possibly a word is missing (“slightly” or similar).
Page 495: Section 566 is not present in the original work.
Page 508: there seems to be a heading (nr. 586) missing; references to
