A wide range of inherent vices and acquired hazards can be found in museum collections worldwide. Inherent hazards include items decorated with lead paint, objects containing dyes and pigments, archaeological and geological collections containing silica dust, poisonous herbarium specimens, geological collections that naturally contain heavy metals or are radioactive, objects created from uranium glass and even historic medicinal collections containing old medications and other dangerous substances. Acquired hazards include historic chemical pesticide treatments including toxic metal-based poisons such as arsenic and mercuric salts and, later in time, organic compounds such as DDT were also employed. How can museums identify and manage these complex issues? This case study addresses these concerns and highlights a multi-year collaboration between the Indiana University Indianapolis Museum Studies Program, Purdue University’s School of Health Sciences and the Indiana Medical History Museum (IMHM) that can serve as a replicable model for other museums grappling with these same conundrums.
在世界各地的博物馆藏品中,可以发现各种各样的固有缺陷和后天危害。固有危害包括用含铅涂料装饰的物品、含有染料和颜料的物品、含有硅尘的考古和地质藏品、有毒的标本馆标本、天然含有重金属或放射性物质的地质藏品、用铀玻璃制作的物品,甚至是含有旧药和其他危险物质的历史医药藏品。后天危害包括历史上的化学杀虫剂处理,其中包括砷和汞盐等有毒金属毒药,后来还使用了滴滴涕等有机化合物。博物馆如何识别和管理这些复杂的问题?本案例研究探讨了这些问题,并重点介绍了印第安纳大学印第安纳波利斯博物馆研究项目、普渡大学健康科学学院和印第安纳医学历史博物馆(IMHM)之间的多年合作,该合作可作为其他博物馆应对这些相同难题的可复制模式。

Our goal is to provide guidance to those responsible for security involving the protection of cultural property. It’s important to note that the authors here are speaking from positions as practitioners. Our experience in operations, security design, as well as careers in cultural property protection that provided knowledge through trial and error over time as well as working with colleagues in the development of industry best practices as a result of those trials, were instrumental in helping us form the opinions contained in the article. Hence the absence of research and academic references in this article.

Site of Social Justice Advocacy, or Home of Godly Women? Interpreting Women’s Work at the Frances Willard House Museum 倡导社会正义的场所,还是虔诚女性的家园?解读弗朗西斯-威拉德故居博物馆中的妇女工作

In 1900, the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) transformed the Evanston, Illinois home of their late president, Frances Willard, into one of the first house museums dedicated to a woman in the United States. For over ninety years, WCTU members used the collections to situate Willard’s social reform career in the framework of domestic and religious duty. Recent efforts by historians and community members to reinterpret the collections to demonstrate Willard’s significance to a progressive, nondenominational, and diverse audience has sparked contentious debate over the ownership of the museum. Drawing on archival materials, published texts, and oral history interviews, this case study examines the use of space and artifacts, as well as the verbal sparring such choices have provoked. The controversy over the Willard House collections suggests that when women’s political and professional activity is central to a house museum’s significance, it becomes an especially contested commemorative site.
1900 年,基督教妇女戒酒联合会(WCTU)将其已故主席弗朗西斯-威拉德(Frances Willard)在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿的家改造成了美国首批专门为女性而建的住宅博物馆之一。九十多年来,WCTU 的成员利用这些藏品将威拉德的社会改革事业置于家庭和宗教责任的框架中。最近,历史学家和社区成员努力重新诠释这些藏品,向进步的、非宗派的和多元化的观众展示威拉德的重要意义,这引发了关于博物馆所有权的争论。本案例研究利用档案资料、出版文本和口述历史访谈,对空间和文物的使用以及这些选择所引发的口角进行了研究。有关威拉德故居藏品的争议表明,当妇女的政治和职业活动成为故居博物馆的核心意义时,它就会成为一个特别有争议的纪念场所。

Scholarly attention is increasingly focusing on museum catalogues: their histories, challenges and, as this paper explores, their potential. Many databases contain outdated information and offensive language, the legacy of colonial-era knowledge production and digitization processes that translated catalogue cards into database entries. Much has been written about the potential of catalogues to act as sites of contact and collaboration, as well as how institutions can and should mitigate harm stemming from discriminatory language within their catalogues. Yet as museum practitioners are acutely aware, the extensive work required to enact change throughout a database is rarely perceived as exciting enough to garner dedicated project funding. This paper uses the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the Stores Move Project (2020–2024) as a case study to illustrate how museums can, and realistically must, integrate critical documentation work into larger projects in order to achieve these objectives. The authors first engage with MAA’s own history of collecting and cataloguing, before detailing how collections staff have incorporated documentation priorities (re-cataloguing, historicizing data, and addressing bias) into the larger Project. They conclude with the hope that by making this work more visible and demonstrating its value, such projects might attract dedicated funding in the future.
学术界越来越关注博物馆目录:它们的历史、挑战,以及本文所探讨的它们的潜力。许多数据库包含过时的信息和令人反感的语言,这些都是殖民时代知识生产和数字化过程的遗留问题,这些过程将目录卡片翻译成数据库条目。关于目录作为联系与合作场所的潜力,以及机构如何能够并应该减少目录中的歧视性语言所造成的伤害,已经有很多论述。然而,正如博物馆从业人员所清楚意识到的那样,在整个数据库中进行变革所需的大量工作很少被认为是令人兴奋的,以至于无法获得专门的项目资金。本文以考古学与人类学博物馆和商店搬迁项目(2020-2024 年)为案例,说明博物馆如何能够、而且必须将关键性的文献工作整合到更大的项目中,以实现这些目标。作者首先介绍了 MAA 自身的收藏和编目历史,然后详细说明了收藏人员如何将文献工作的重点(重新编目、数据历史化和解决偏差问题)纳入到更大的项目中。最后,他们希望通过提高这项工作的可见度并展示其价值,此类项目将来可能会吸引到专项资金。

With more than 2.5 million catalogue records the British Museum’s digital collection database is one of the largest museum databases in the world, constituting a primary point of access to the collections both internally and externally. But its recording systems, developed over multiple generations, contain problematic data in a structure dominated by a single language. This article focuses on efforts to transform a portion of the data within the structural complexities. In 2021, a Hawaiian language research group was formed at the British Museum. Named Keaukānaʻi, this group supports the development and integration of a new taxonomy in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) for describing Hawaiian ancestral treasures physically at the museum. The authors reflect on the work initiated to deconstruct taxonomical violence, and to build a new path forward for hosting, integrating and centering an indigenous language and associated knowledge at the British Museum. The article presents key steps while also discussing the challenges and limitations encountered.
大英博物馆的数字藏品数据库拥有 250 多万条目录记录,是世界上最大的博物馆数据库之一,是内部和外部访问藏品的主要途径。但其记录系统历经多代开发,数据结构以单一语言为主,存在诸多问题。本文将重点介绍在复杂结构中转换部分数据的工作。2021 年,大英博物馆成立了一个夏威夷语研究小组。该研究小组被命名为 "Keaukānaʻi",支持用夏威夷语(ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi)开发和整合新的分类法,用于描述博物馆中的夏威夷祖传珍品。作者回顾了为解构分类学暴力而开展的工作,以及为大英博物馆托管、整合和集中土著语言及相关知识而开辟的新道路。文章介绍了关键步骤,同时也讨论了遇到的挑战和限制。

In the Pop-up-VR Museum, a selection of design objects from the Design Museum collection can be explored as virtual reality experience together with stories and comments collected in workshops organized with senior communities and museum visitors amongst others. The collaboration between the museum and the Aalto University Department of Art and Media in the EU Horizon 2020 project SPICE (2020–2023), seeks to increase social cohesion and inclusion through cultural heritage. Using semantic tools designed and developed in the project, it studies ways to promote novel forms of “citizen curation” activities. The article discusses the co-design process between media designers, heritage professionals, and different user communities, with varying understandings and needs regarding museum data and Finnish design heritage. In the museum, community-based data raises practical as well as ethical issues. Also the new digital artifacts challenge existing systems: what and how should be preserved in the museum collection from the dialogue with the user that takes place in the Pop-up VR Museum and does this new data demand re-assessing earlier information and, how does should the process of creating new digital artifacts be documented and described.
在 Pop-up-VR 博物馆中,人们可以通过虚拟现实体验探索设计博物馆收藏的部分设计物品,同时还可以了解在与老年社区和博物馆游客等举办的研讨会中收集的故事和意见。博物馆与阿尔托大学艺术与媒体系在欧盟地平线 2020 项目 SPICE(2020-2023 年)中的合作,旨在通过文化遗产增强社会凝聚力和包容性。文章利用在该项目中设计和开发的语义工具,研究如何促进新形式的 "公民策展 "活动。文章讨论了媒体设计师、遗产专业人员和不同用户群体之间的共同设计过程,他们对博物馆数据和芬兰设计遗产有着不同的理解和需求。在博物馆中,以社区为基础的数据引发了实际问题和伦理问题。此外,新的数字艺术品也对现有系统提出了挑战:在弹出式 VR 博物馆中与用户对话的过程中,博物馆藏品中应该保留哪些内容以及如何保留这些内容;这些新数据是否要求重新评估以前的信息;如何记录和描述创造新数字艺术品的过程。

Provisional Semantics: Addressing the Challenges of Representing Multiple Perspectives Within Public Collections 临时语义学:应对在公共藏品中体现多种观点的挑战
Pub Date : 2024-02-26 DOI: 10.1177/15501906241232427
Anjalie Dalal-Clayton, Ananda Rutherford
This paper presents a reflective account of the AHRC-funded Provisional Semantics project, which focused on how museums and heritage organizations might produce search terms, catalogue entries and interpretation using ethical and equitable practices, particularly in relation to the artworks and histories of racialized and minoritized people, and in the context of a digitized national collection. As the project developed, the emphasis shifted toward a more fundamental enquiry into whether these objectives were achievable, given the structural racism and colonial logics inherent in the museum project and its conventions, histories, and infrastructure. Through a critical discussion of the project’s three case studies, the paper considers the following questions: what happens when we change words and clean data as a putative solution to problematic cataloguing? Can museums genuinely, equitably, and ethically represent multivocality? Why is embedded change in attitudes and behaviors hard to achieve and slow to happen? And is sector guidance for research and documentation fit for purpose in terms of genuine knowledge co-production and engagement?
该项目重点关注博物馆和遗产组织如何利用合乎道德和公平的做法,特别是针对种族化和少数民族的艺术作品和历史,以及在数字化国家藏品的背景下,编制搜索条件、目录条目和解释。随着项目的发展,重点转向了对这些目标是否能够实现的更基本的探究,因为博物馆项目及其惯例、历史和基础设施中固有的结构性种族主义和殖民逻辑。通过对该项目的三项案例研究进行批判性讨论,本文思考了以下问题:当我们改变文字和清理数据作为解决编目问题的办法时,会发生什么?博物馆能否真正、公平、合乎道德地体现多元性?为什么态度和行为的内在变化难以实现且进展缓慢?在真正的知识共同生产和参与方面,研究和文献部门指南是否符合目的?

Documenting the Divine: The Future of Sacred Objects in Museum Databases 记录神性:博物馆数据库中神圣物品的未来
Pub Date : 2024-02-25 DOI: 10.1177/15501906241232426
Emma Cieslik
Religiosity as a modicum of meaning surrounding and within objects has raised ethical issues ever since people began collecting, especially as some of the first works of art were commissioned by religious practitioners or for religious purposes. In the twenty-first century, as curators and collections specialists grapple with the religious and cultural trauma surrounding the looting and unethical collecting of objects with inherent spiritual and sacred value, this article explores the implications of this value and meaning in our museum databases. How do museums care for objects that are themselves non-human living beings, spirits, and/or ancestors and how do they care for objects whose legacies of creation, contact, and engagement affect the ways in which they can be displayed or preserved? This article utilizes a case study of Catholic relics to explore how collections specialists catalog their value, both historical and spiritual, and how it affects the ways in which they are touched, treated, and housed.
自从人们开始收藏艺术品以来,宗教性作为围绕在艺术品周围和艺术品内部的一点意义就引发了伦理问题,特别是一些最早的艺术品是由宗教从业者委托或出于宗教目的而收藏的。在二十一世纪,策展人和藏品专家正在努力应对围绕掠夺和不道德地收藏具有内在精神和神圣价值的物品而产生的宗教和文化创伤,本文探讨了这种价值和意义对我们博物馆数据库的影响。博物馆如何保管本身就是非人类生物、灵魂和/或祖先的物品,又如何保管其创造、接触和参与的遗产会影响其展示或保存方式的物品?本文通过对天主教圣物的案例研究,探讨藏品专家如何对圣物的历史和精神价值进行编目,以及这如何影响圣物的接触、处理和存放方式。
