ABSTRACT This article presents a network analysis of the actors and places associated with Charles Lang Freer’s collecting of Egyptian, ancient Near Eastern and Islamic art between 1907 and 1909, and highlights key developments in the formation of the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art. The authors lay out their research process and findings with two primary goals: to reveal previously unexplored aspects of Freer’s collecting practices, and to demonstrate the value of network analysis for highlighting the personal relationships which often underlie museum collections.

ABSTRACT Replicas have the ability to communicate artistic, cultural and intellectual values outside their original context. They do this by physically establishing a canon for ordering and interpreting history. Epigraphical squeezes, as fragmentary impressions of sculpted or incised surfaces, are one example of such replicas, occupying a transitory space between source and copy. However, they are rarely studied within this framework, instead seen primarily as an aide for publication. To better understand how squeezes are implicated in our own processes of knowledge formation, this paper focuses on a single case study, the collection of early Christian squeezes held at Musée L. In mapping the biography of this collection, tracing its connection to the emergence of archaeology as a science based on interaction with material remains at the turn of the twentieth century, this case study will provide a rich model for how squeezes can act as sources for historiographical inquiry.

ABSTRACT The idea of ‘national heritage’ is inseparable from the emergence of the nation-state, democracy, and citizenship. Nationalisation of heritage involved the nation stepping in on behalf of the cultural rights of citizens, and acquiring the ownership of material history from its previous domains of ownership such as monarchy, religion, and colonialism. This paper studies the process of the acquisition of objects for the National Museum of India, New Delhi in the decade that followed India's independence in 1947, in order to trace the varied ways in which a nascent nation-state worked out its equations with pre-existing centres of power. Relying mainly on the archive of the official documents pertaining to the process, this paper tries to understand how the then Government of India negotiated with the erstwhile princely rulers, provincial sentiments, and the British for the ownership of material history. The paper proposes that the project of the National Museum in India was, by extension, a project of nationhood.
“民族遗产”的概念与民族国家、民主和公民身份的出现密不可分。遗产的民族化涉及国家代表公民的文化权利介入，并从其以前的所有权领域（如君主制、宗教和殖民主义）获得物质历史的所有权。本文研究了1947年印度独立后的十年里，新德里印度国家博物馆（National Museum of India，New Delhi）的藏品收购过程，以追溯一个新生的民族国家与先前存在的权力中心之间的关系。本文主要依靠与这一过程有关的官方文件档案，试图了解当时的印度政府是如何与昔日的君主统治者、乡情和英国人就物质历史的所有权进行谈判的。本文提出，印度国家博物馆项目是一个民族项目。

ABSTRACT From 2017 to 2022, ICOM worked on changing the 2007 definition of a museum to make it accord the challenges and responsibilities of the twenty-first century. To make the process transparent and participatory, ICOM invited all interested stakeholders to submit their vision of a museum. By April 2019, out of 269 new museum definitions proposed, Africa, with only 17 definitions, remained the least active region in the discussion of the reinterpretation and reconceptualisation of a museum. Additional consultations initiated in 2020 after the postponed vote in Kyoto got over a 60% rate of responses from the continent. To understand African participation and contribution properly, the article analyses how a museum as an institution has come into historical being, how it has been legitimised over time, and whether or not the newly approved definition in Prague, 2022, is truly transformative and representative for Africa.
