Two Approaches to Measuring Social Impact in Utah Museums
With strong competition for funding, museums need to be able to clearly and concretely demonstrate their impact. In this paper we present two case studies to document the social impact of museums in Utah. In 2015, Thanksgiving Point, a multi‐museum complex, recruited families who had never visited to attend each museum then to take a comprehensive survey measuring indicators of social impact. Positive findings from the Thanksgiving Point study en…

British Government Perspectives on the Commonwealth, 1964–71
The Commonwealth has always been a subject of lively academic debate and publication but in recent years the historical context seems to have gone by default. Forty years ago the picture was different. Commonwealth historians were among the leading historians of their generation. This article revisits some of the contemporary assessments of the Commonwealth in the 1960s, and contrasts them with the Commonwealth policies pursued by the British gov…
Mountbatten, the royal family, and British influence in post-independence India and Burma
One of the unexplored themes in the career of Mountbatten is why more use was not made of his services in similar contexts in the years after his Indian viceroyalty and governor-generalship. This article examines his influence in private and unofficial capacities in his dealings with post-independence India and Burma in the 1960s and early 1970s. In India it considers Mountbatten's efforts on behalf of the Indian princes when Indira Gandhi's gove…
Keeping a Foot in the Door
Based on Britain and China 1945–1950 (DBPO, 2002), this article examines four major themes in Britain's China policy between 1945 and 1950: British attitudes towards Chinese communism and China's civil war, Anglo-American relations over China, attempts to restore and sustain British commerce in China, and the future of Hong Kong. The central feature of policy was to ‘keep a foot in the door’, even under a communist government, to protect British …

British Policy Towards the Indian States, 1905-1939
Prior to 1947 approximately one-third of the Indian sub-continent was broken up into 635 Indian States which were ruled by princes of varying rank. In the process of consolidating their empire in India the British had, during the first half of the nineteenth century, deprived the princes of the power to conduct external relations with each other or with foreign powers. Internally the princes were theoretically independent but their sovereignty in…
