Improving facilities for educational visitors to Parliament
This report looks at improving visitor's access to Parliament, and assesses what the focus of Parliament's visitor services should be and who should be the main target audience. The report sets out options for varying scales of visitor facilities and what kind of facilities should be provided, and what proposals for change are required. One part of the strategy is to improve public engagement with Parliament with an upgrade of the Parliamentary website. Also an upgrade of the new visitor route through the Visitor Reception Building and Westminster Hall, along with a better welcome for visitors. Further, initiatives to explain the work of the select committees to the media, along with outreach programmes to schools and the wider public. The Committee is sceptical of the value for money of a full-scale visitor centre, and states that existing strategies, such as improved educational facilities about Parliament and its' working would provide better engagement with the public. School trips to Parliament would be the best means of communicating the work and history of the institution. The Committee recommends improved facilities for the Parliamentary Education Service.
Patrick: the Irish Immigrant
Patrick: The Irish Immigrant is the story of a determined Irish lad who dreamed of a better life of opportunities in America. By the age of seventeen, Patrick J. O'Shea had saved enough money to buy passage to the United States. Upon his arrival in New York City, Patrick used his ambition and determination, mixed with a dash of Irish malarkey, to set himself up with a job and a new life. This recipe served him well throughout his adventures that led him from New York City to the Territory of Hawaii and throughout the world. Along the way, Patrick married the love of his life, Arabell. Together they raised their family against the backdrop of World War II and other life-changing historical events. Patrick's life story is the universal story of many immigrants to the United States of America. He came, he prospered, and he proudly became a U.S. citizen. Patrick wanted his story told to encourage others to persevere despite obstacles and setbacks, to do one's best at any task, and to always conduct oneself with honor and dignity.
Letter
Autograph letter, dated June 16, 1919, from Frank Swinnerton of Chatto & Windus in London, to the publisher George Doran, containing notes on the publishing history of works by W.N.P. Barbellion and Daisy Ashford. Swinnerton gives a detailed account of H.G. Wells' participation in the publication of The journal of a disappointed man by W.N.P. Barbellion [pseudonym of Bruce Frederick Cummings], for which Wells wrote the preface. Swinnerton also refers to a similar case involving The young visiters [by nine year-old Daisy Ashford], published anonymously, with a preface by J.M. Barrie. Because the preface was signed by Barrie, it was erroneously supposed that he was the author of the entire work.
