Museums, nations, identities: Wales and its national museums
Open accessAbstract
This book explores the different ways in which Wales and Welshness have been represented in the National Museums Wales (www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/home/.ac.uk). Beginning with the proposal for the creation of a National Museum in the 1880s and ending with devolution and the present day, the study examines how museums have contributed to the construction, legitimation, and negotiation of public representations of national identities in Wales. In the process, this study demonstrates the important role that museums play in shaping a society's view of its past, its present, and its national identities. This research project has been made possible by the AHRC research leave scheme and supported by the University of Newcastle Arts and Humanities Fund.

“a convergence of conditions has created an environment in which subnational entities vie for economic and political supremacy over their other regional competitors through claims to be the 'most Chinese'.”

In the citing paper
“Such claims are made by means of historical and archaeological evidence that 'proves' the claimants to be the origin point or earliest example of traits thought to be characteristic of the Chinese nation.5”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
