Excerpt from Report of Proceedings: With the Papers Read at the Annual General Meeting Held at Cambridge, July 7th, 8th 9th, 1891
The Association is to be congratulated on holding its second meeting in so excellent a centre as Cambridge. As will be .seen by the papers published in this Report, the Second Annual Meeting of the Museums Association was of an essentially practical character, the subjects considered and discussed bearing more especially on the practical and technical work of Museums. Two points of cardinal importance raised at the Liverpool Meeting received the careful consideration of special committees during the past year and workable schemes have been suggested and adopted for dealing with both questions. The questions considered were - (i.) a method for getting specimens correctly named, and (ii.) a uniform and satisfactory method of labelling. It is to be hoped that the schemes proposed will receive the hearty support of Museum Managers and Curators. The benefit that would result if all the collections in the Kingdom were accurately named and instructively labelled is too obvious to need comment, and this, it is hoped, will be done by carrying out the systems suggested in the Reports of the Label and Specialist's Committees printed at the end of this Volume. Curators are particularly desired to peruse these Reports and to acquaint the editors with their views on the subjects.
The local arrangements were of the most satisfactory nature, and the Association is much indebted to several prominent members of the University for kind help and friendly hospitality. Conspicuous amongst these were the President (Mr. J. W. Clark, Registrary of the University) and Professor A. Newton. The Association also owes very much to Mr. S. F. Harmer, the local Secretary and Treasurer, to whose untiring energy the success of the meeting was largely due. Professor Macalister, Baron von Hiigel, Mr. A. E. Shipley, Mr. James Carter, Professor Lewis, Professor Middleton, and Mr. Chapman gave much kind and useful help.
