| A separate gallery within the building, which doubles as a function room for conferences, courses, workshops, displays, and other events, features a permanent exhibition of material on local language, history, and tradition. It showcases the six principal fields in the teaching, research, archives, and publication programme of the National Centre for English Cultural Tradition. These are: language and communication; childlore; custom and belief; narrative; music, dance, and drama; material culture, work techniques, arts and crafts. The Museum has the unusual advantage of being able to draw on the substantial documentation of its principal material culture collections, and on information about the other five fields in the Centre’s remit, deposited in NATCECT’s library and archives. The University of Sheffield is the only institution in higher education in England that has established and maintained an integrated academic programme in these fields, which are an essential part of our cultural heritage. |
