Building on the research presented at the meeting, this volume will focus on the question of collecting post-WW2 scientific and technological heritage, and the equally challenging question of how such artefacts can be displayed and interpreted for diverse publics. Some possible approaches are illustrated by case studies from museums. There are also case studies from other professions, in the hope that these will encourage museum and university professionals to look beyond their usual networks for examples of innovative approaches and best practice. However, the ambiguity of the title "Challenging Collections" indicates this volume's other aim to take a step back from institutional case studies or practical considerations, which have arguably inhibited constructive discourse with excessive detail, and to consider and challenge the role of museum collections in the 21st century. We invite historians and curators to reflect on how trends in museological and historiographical practice have affected collecting and display, and open a discussion on whether, given the nature of the postwar material culture of science and technology, detailed rationales for collecting are in fact needed or useful at all."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Technology and civilization. 650 0 $a Science and civilization. 650 0 $a Cultural property $x Protection. 650 0 $a Museums $x Collection management. 650 0 $a Museum exhibits $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Science museums. 650 0 $a Scientific apparatus and instruments $x Collectors and collecting. 650 7 $a Cultural property $x Protection. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885019 650 7 $a Museum exhibits $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030090 650 7 $a Museums $x Collection management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030143 650 7 $a Science and civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108517 650 7 $a Science museums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108738 650 7 $a Scientific apparatus and instruments $x Collectors and collecting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108813 650 7 $a Technology and civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145253 700 1 $a Boyle, Alison, $d 1977- $e editor. 700 1 $a Hagmann, Johannes-Geert, $e editor. 710 2 $a Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press, $e publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Challenging collections $w (OCoLC)1012124356 830 0 $a Artefacts series ; $v v. 11. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122021424.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926095729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8E87118462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
