by Being Human Derby: New Worlds
This series of ten mini podcasts looks at how objects in various Derbyshire collections can be the start of larger stories and honest conversations about our past, present and future. Through themes of exploration, exploitation and Empire, we will discover how these collections connect the local to the global, and how they continue to shape our city and county. Created by the University of Derby for the Being Human festival 2020 and produced by Roger Morford.

<p>Did you know that the people of Derby paid for some of the scientific instruments that accompanied Captain Scott on his doomed voyage to the South Pole? In today’s programme, we are looking at a remarkable scrapbook which not only charts the progress of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910, but also tells us about the role that Derby played in funding it. As well newspaper cuttings, this scrapbook has objects in it including a piece of rope from Captain Scott’s ship itself. It also tells us about the remarkable woman, Ethel Crowther, who compiled it and who was the assistant librarian at Derby Public Library, where the scrapbook eventually became part of the collection, and how she was curating her own town and family history at the same time as tracing the progress and tragic demise of Captain Scott.</p> <p>You can this scrapbook digitised at Derby Libraries 'Derby's History' webpages <a href="https://emlib.ent.sirsidynix.net.uk/client/en_GB/derby/?rm=EPHEMERA0%7C%7C%7C1%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7Ctrue&dt=list">here</a>. This episode was recorded at Derby Local Studies and Family History Library.</p>

<p>Over the last three years, thousands of people have worked with Derby Museums to co-produce ‘Objects of Love, Hope and Fear: A World Collection’. People on the streets of Derby, co-production volunteers and new friends across the globe have cleaned, photographed, researched, interpreted and displayed this important collection of objects.</p> <p>However, a gallery like this can never be considered finished and interpreting these objects makes us have honest, open and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about how these objects came to be in the museum’s collection, how they have been labelled and how they represent Derby today.</p> <p>In this last episode, a conversation in the World Cultures Gallery at Derby Museums, jewellery designer <a href="https://www.anishaparmar.com/">Anisha Parmar</a> talks to Rachel Atherton (Derby Museums) about she has been inspired by some objects and how her own journey has led her to add her own intricate object to the gallery.</p>
