Ida B. Wells-Barnett letter to Lucile Atcherson, October 1, 1914
No full textIn October 1914, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a journalist and leader in the early Civil Rights movement, wrote this letter to Lucile Atcherson, a leader in the Ohio women's suffrage movement and executive secretary for the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Associatino. Wells-Barnett, writing from Chicago, asks in the letter how she can help in the fight for suffrage following a request from Mrs. Jamison for Wells-Barnett's help in garnering enthusiasm for the movement from African American women. Wells-Barnett's suffrage club in Chicago could not spare money to fund her travel, so she requests money from Atcherson for the train. Wells-Barnett asks Atcherson to respond if the plan for the trip is satisfactory.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

The regional distribution of public expendictures in the UK : an exposition and critique of the Barnett formula
No full textThe Barnett formula is the official basis upon which increments to public funds are allocated to the devolved regions of the UK for those parts of the budget that are administered locally. There is considerable controversy surrounding the implications of its strict application for the relevant regions. The existing literature focuses primarily on the equity of the spatial changes to government per capita expenditure that would accompany such a change. In contrast, in this paper we attempt to quantify the system-wide economic consequences-the real, relative resource squeeze that accompanies the financial relative squeeze-on one devolved region, Scotland. The analysis uses a multisectoral regional computable general equilibrium modelling approach. We highlight the importance of population endogeneity, particularly since the population proportions used in the formula are now regularly updated

Rock art of the Wadi al-Ajal, Libya
No full textThe dataset contains information about 2450 engraved rock surfaces in the Wadi al-Ajal, Fezzan, Libya, located and recorded between 2004 and 2009 by the Wadi al-Ajal Rock Art Project directed by Dr Tertia Barnett and funded by The Society for Libyan Studies and The British Academy. The majority of the engravings are new discoveries, and include figurative and abstract images, inscriptions, and a range of functional and non-functional rock markings. They span a period of around 8000 years, from at least 6000 BC to recent times - a period during which the cultural and natural landscapes of the Sahara were transformed. The engravings are important for understanding prehistoric and protohistoric human activity in the Sahara, and adaptation to changing climatic and environmental conditions. The data have been published in Barnett T (2019) An Engraved Landscape: rock carvings in the Wadi al-Ajal (Volume 1: Synthesis; Volume 2: Gazetteer). London: The Society for Libyan Studies.
The dataset includes (a) a spreadsheet with grid references, detailed descriptions and quantitative information on content and context of every engraved rock surface, (b) photographs of the engravings and their contexts, (c) digital line drawings of a selection of the engravings, and (d) 3D material for a selection of the rock surfaces.The dataset contains 6 zip folder and an Excel spreadsheet, as listed below.

Canon Barnett and the first thirty years of Toynbee Hall
No full textPhDThis thesis is a study of the changing role which Toynbee
Hall, the first university settlement, played in East London between
1884 and 1914. The first chapter presents a brief biography of
Sainiel Augustus Barnett, the founder and first warden of the
settlement, and analyzes his social thought in relation to the
beliefs which were current in Britain during the period. The
second chapter discusses the founding of the settlement, its organization, structure and the aims which underlay its early work. The
third chapter, concentrating on three residents, C.R. Ashbee, .H.
Beveridge and T. Edmund Harvey, shows the way in which subsequent
settlement workers reformulated these aims In accordance with their
own social and economic views. The subsequent chapters discuss the
accomplishments of the settlement in various fields. The fourth
shows that Toynbee Hall's educational program, which was largely an
attempt to work out Matthew Arnold's theory of culture, left little
impact on the life of East London. The fifth chapter discusses the
settlement residents' ineffectual attempts to establish contact with
working men's organizations. The final chapter seeks to demonstrate
that In the field of philanthropy the residents were far more successful than in any other sphere in adapting the settlement to changing
social thought
