ESB is delighted to announce that Number 29 has been selected to participate in the Heritage Council's Museum Standards Programme for Ireland. Number 29 is now one of over 40 collections' based

organisations across Ireland taking part in the initiative which the Heritage Council describes as

"the first of its kind in the Republic of Ireland, [MSPI] sets out to improve all aspects of Ireland's museum practice. A voluntary programme, it has attracted involvement from across the cultural spectrum — from national institutions to small, volunteer-led organisations"

ESB/ Number 29 has recently commissioned a high grade archival digitisation of the two paper and linen scrolls which form the "Rudiment Box", part of which is on display in the Nursery of the Georgian House Museum. These important and rare early 19th century educational resources were produced by the London firm of Darton and Son. One scroll is on loan to the museum by kind permission of the Church of Ireland College of Education. Images of from the scrolls as well as explanatory text are available online at www.esb.ie/main/about-esb/numbertwentynine/education/
