摘要

十九世纪新兴的公共博物馆部门通过广泛的国际贸易建立了其自然历史标本收藏的重要部分。20 世纪 20 年代初,学者们对这一在很大程度上被忽视的贸易兴趣大增。交换是自然历史贸易的一个独特方面,它揭示了机构收藏者的各种做法和动机。经济地理利益包括保护博物馆有限的财政资源和利用标本地理分布的互补性。藏品管理、机构声誉、社会关系和国际外交也是塑造这一重要国际贸易的复杂价值组合的一部分。我们分析了澳大利亚殖民地三大博物馆在十九世纪最后三十年与全球收藏家交换澳大利亚 "珍稀奇特 "动物标本的实践。通过运用和分析有关澳大利亚三家博物馆之间一种特殊形式的自然史--动物学和一种特殊类型的贸易--交换交易的大量比较数据,本文扩展并丰富了近期有关自然史标本的流动性及其交易方式的学术研究。

Value, knowledge and reputation: zoological exchange by Australian museums, 1870-1900.

The burgeoning nineteenth-century public-museum sector built a significant part of its natural-history specimen collections through extensive international trading. The early 2020s has seen an upsurge of scholarly interest in this largely overlooked trade. Exchange was a distinctive aspect of the natural-history trade that reveals much about the diverse practices and motives of the institutional collectors. Economic-geographic benefits included conserving the limited financial resources of museums and exploiting complementarities in the geographic distribution of specimens. Collection management, institutional reputation, social connection and international diplomacy were also part of a complex mix of value making that shaped this important international trade. We analyse the exchange practices of the three largest museums in the Australian colonies in the final three decades of the nineteenth century who exchanged Australia's 'rare and curious' fauna with collectors across the globe. By deploying and analysing extensive, comparative data on a particular form of natural history, zoology, and a particular kind of trade, exchange trading, among three Australian museums, this paper extends and enriches recent scholarship on the mobility of natural-history specimens and how they were traded.
