A Charitable Incorporated Organisation Charity Number 116034 Annual Report 2022-2023
From the Chair of Trustees, Alan Porter
Herne Bay's own Museum was established 90 years ago. There are good reasons behind its longevity. The town's museum holds the collected history of the town and its residents. I welcome that the Collection is ably managed by our Honorary Curator. My grateful thanks. Our varied Collection preserves the history of those who have made Herne Bay the great place it is today. Members of local families continue to entrust us with treasured items.
We exist in a rapidly changing world. There is the danger of losing Herne Bay's charm as more houses are built and the pressures of present day living increase. The presence of a museum shows who and what has contributed to the Town we love. We have a loyal band of volunteers who give freely of their time and enjoy giving service to the community.
Our financial situation is healthy. Our continuous temporary exhibitions are always well received. Our small shop is successful. We are proud of our work with schools. We continue to get better at what we do and what we offer every year. But we are under increasing pressure. We hope that the importance of small museums will be recognised more fully by those in power, in the near future as it was in the past.
Let me extend grateful thanks to our Board, Manager, Hon. Curator, Hon. Lithic's Curator, Volunteers, Visitors, Supporters and Canterbury City Council. Your loyal support is greatly appreciated.
By helping a small town museum, you are assisting to preserve and promote the past in a very important way. It is this personal touch that makes the Museum a focal presence in the Town and a substantial pointer to its unique history and future.

_Report from Ian Tittley, Honorary Curator_
Collection Care and Management
Considerable progress has been made this year in bringing the Seaside Museum’s collection to a standard acceptable for the next round of accreditation. Object storage has been reorganised according to physical nature and boxes re-shelved. Simultaneously, objects have been checked against the computer entry catalogue in order to identify missing items, and opportunity taken to improve the protection of glass, china and other delicate objects by wrapping in acid-free tissue paper.
Archaeology and palaeontology items have been also tissue wrapped and placed in finds bags. Photographs and archival paper items are now held in polyester pockets. Many framed pictures are now hung on the storeroom’s wire racking. The room has been tidied and cleaned.
An audit of objects on display in the galleries has been completed and location information added to the object entry catalogue.
In June 2022 a collections care audit, funded by Southeast Museum Development, was undertaken for the Museum by Spencer & Fry museum management consultants who made recommendations for improved storage and display. The Museum was awarded £1000 to implement the report’s recommendations and used to purchase a meter that measures relative humidity, light intensity and temperature, and also items for collections care and storage.
Effort has been made this year to put more of the Museum’s stored objects on display. In May 2022 the Museum celebrated International Museums Day by organising ‘behind the scenes’ public visits to the collection store and bringing out selected objects for closer inspection. In December archival and photographic items were brought out for the ‘Herne Bay Entertains’ special exhibition. The Museum’s silverware objects displayed in the secure exhibition case were exchanged for Roman objects held in the store.
Training and skill development continued during the year with IT attending Southeast Museum Development ‘Get Your House in Order’ workshops on:
- Spectrum 5
- Ownership of collections
- Location and movement control
- Rethinking cataloguing
- Use of collections
In July 2022 a work-placement high school student spent a week at the Museum helping with aspects of collection care. In January 2023 a University of Kent work experience student spent several weeks assisting with collection care and management.

_Report from Pete Knowles – PhD Paleolithic Archaeology at Durham University_
## **Report on Curation.**
## **The Seaside Museum – Herne Bay: Archaeological Collection**
_Pete Knowles 01/07/23_
Work has centred on 3D-scanning the Dr Ince collection of Palaeolithic Handaxes from Sturry, these are on loan from Canterbury Museum.
**Conservation of Palaeolithic artefacts:** Work is in progress to update the database and repackage these artefacts. All artefacts are now being wrapped in tissue and placed in individual archaeological finds bags, the bag labels contain the item number and brief details. It is hoped that all artefacts will eventually be photographed to create a complete catalogue.
**Quaternary Fossil Collection:** In April 2022 a large collection of Quaternary fossils was acquired from a local collector. This collection contains some rare and unique specimens collected over many years at longrock Swalecliffe and on the foreshore near the pier. The collection has been accessioned but now requires condition checking and photographing.
**Dr Helen Wickstead** from Kingston University School of Art visited (15[th] July 2022), to research and photograph items for a publication on the History of Photography. Working title for paper _Palaeoliths, Eoliths and Pareidolia: Photography and archaeological stone collecting from 1859 to the second world war._
