Visit of Collection as Epistemic Practice in the Scientific Community of Geosciences between 1765 and 1807.

该项目追求三个相互关联的目标：第一个也是核心问题是确定在参观馆藏的背景下合作生产知识的重要性。因此，参观收藏品被认为是早期地球科学的一个中心认识实践。第二，地球科学收藏品应作为科学知识和技术方法的生产、流通和综合的网络化场所，以其多样性加以记录和描述。第三，这种对收藏品的关注和对收藏品的访问与强调分散研究的概况以及私人利益相关者在学术机构化之前相继形成和内部专业化地球科学的重要性的目的有关。总的来说，跨学科项目，这是位于历史和地质科学的交叉点，承诺提供一个新的轮廓收集的意义，为新兴的地球科学。

The project pursues three interrelated aims: The first and central concern is to determine the significance of collaborative production of knowledge in the context of visits to collections. Visits to collections are therefore recognised as a central epistemic practice in early geosciences. Secondly, geoscientific collections are to be recorded and described in their diversity as networked places of production, circulation and consolidation of scientific knowledge and technical methods. Thirdly, this focus on collections and visits to collections is associated with the aim of highlighting the profile of decentralised research and the importance of private stakeholders in the successively forming and internally specialised geosciences just before their academic institutionalisation. Overall, the interdisciplinary project, which is located at the intersection of the historical and the geological sciences, promises to provide a new outline of the significance of collections for the emerging geosciences.
