项目摘要

'Integrating Forms of Care' follows on from an earlier collaborative research project 'Who Cares? Interventions in 'unloved' museum collections'. This initial project worked with the Science Museum, the Museum of English Rural Life and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust to explore the role of enthusiasm, creativity and affection in the stewardship of 'unloved' or under-appreciated collections. 'Who cares?' exposed the significant role that enthusiast experts (independent researchers with a clear expertise in and passion for a particular subject or collection) play in caring for museum collections, particularly those which others may find difficult to engage with due to their repetitive or specialist nature. Despite the majority of museum staff being dedicated to improving collections access, negotiating a suitable level of physical access and playing a part in decision making processes around the reserve collections could be challenging due in part to a potential clash of cultures between enthusiasts and professional museum staff. It was this finding in particular where a clear but unexpected pathway to impact and engagement emerged.In order to help democratise heritage decision-making and open up reserve collections to a wider audience, this follow-on project will bring together a group of museum curators and enthusiast experts into a single collaborative working group. Together this group will form a unique community of practice embarking on a programme of knowledge exchange events which focus on the Science Museum Group's (SMG) 'Energy' collections, a diverse group of objects dispersed across its sites in London, Manchester and Wroughton. The working group will come together regularly through the schedule of project activities, visiting each of the SMG's stores in turn and taking part in focussed discussions which 'problematise' these reserve collections from multiple perspectives. The project activities will be based around three strands of knowledge exchange: community asset mapping, collaborative problem solving and activities to facilitate wider public engagement. We recognise that members of the working group may have very different frames of reference and priorities concerning reserve collections, one of the key aims of the project is to acknowledge these and give them space to be heard and understood. Through the example of SMG , the working group will ultimately devise a clear set of policy guidelines for wider museums and heritage organisations on how to design more flexible forms of preservation policy that allows for potentially more varied forms of access and 'use' of objects.Over the course of the project the working group will be accompanied by Creative Practitioners who will facilitate the discussions and create visible reference points, such as a publically accessible dynamic map, which aims to capture the complexity of these conversations. The creative practitioners will also create a project documentary to be hosted on the project website, giving visibility to enthusiast research practices and skills and encouraging new users to make use of reserve collections.'Integrating Forms of Care' will work alongside the SMG's large scale 'Collections Review Programme'. This is a timely opportunity to influence forward-thinking and sustainable collections management practices in a National Museum context, which will ultimately aid the recognition of the plural values that museum collections represent. However, the focus of the project will be outward looking and felt by a much wider group across the Museum Sector. Through dissemination of project's collaborative outputs by the project team and working group at a Public Workshop and via social and professional networks, this knowledge exchange programme will have a wider societal and professional impact to other museums in the UK and beyond.

“整合护理形式”延续了早先的一个合作研究项目“谁在乎？干预不受欢迎的‘博物馆藏品’。”这个最初的项目与科学博物馆、英国乡村生活博物馆和铁桥峡谷博物馆信托基金合作，探索热情、创造力和情感在“不受欢迎”或不受欢迎的收藏品管理中的作用。“谁在乎？”揭示了热心的专家(对某一特定主题或藏品有明确专长和热情的独立研究人员)在保护博物馆藏品方面发挥的重要作用，特别是那些其他人可能因其重复性或专业性而难以接触的藏品。尽管大多数博物馆工作人员致力于改善收藏品的获取，但谈判合适的实物获取水平并参与围绕保留收藏品的决策过程可能是具有挑战性的，部分原因是爱好者和专业博物馆工作人员之间可能存在文化冲突。特别是这一发现，出现了一条明确但意想不到的影响和参与的途径。为了帮助遗产决策民主化，并向更广泛的受众开放储备藏品，这个后续项目将把一群博物馆馆长和热情的专家聚集在一个单一的合作工作组中。这个小组将共同组成一个独特的实践社区，开始一项知识交流活动计划，重点是科学博物馆集团(SMG)的“能源”藏品，这是一个分散在伦敦、曼彻斯特和沃顿的地点的多样化的物品组。工作组将通过项目活动日程表定期聚集在一起，轮流访问SMG的每一家门店，并参加从多个角度对这些储备收藏品提出问题的集中讨论。项目活动将围绕三个方面的知识交流展开：社区资产测绘、协作解决问题和促进更广泛公众参与的活动。我们认识到，工作组成员在储备收集方面可能有非常不同的参照框架和优先事项，该项目的主要目标之一是承认这一点，并给予他们被倾听和理解的空间。通过SMG的例子，工作小组最终将为更广泛的博物馆和文物组织制定一套明确的政策指导方针，指导如何设计更灵活的保护政策，使文物的获取和使用可能更加多样化。在项目过程中，工作小组将由创意实践者陪同，他们将促进讨论并创建可见的参照点，例如公众可访问的动态地图，旨在捕捉这些对话的复杂性。创意从业者还将制作一部项目纪录片，放在项目网站上，向热心的研究实践和技能提供可见性，并鼓励新用户使用储备藏品。“整合形式的关怀”将与SMG的大型“藏品审查计划”一起工作。这是一个及时的机会，可以在国家博物馆的背景下影响前瞻性和可持续的藏品管理做法，这最终将有助于认识到博物馆藏品代表的多重价值。然而，该项目的重点将是向外看，并被整个博物馆部门更广泛的群体所感受到。通过项目小组和工作组在公共研讨会上以及通过社会和专业网络传播项目的合作成果，这一知识交流计划将对英国和其他国家的博物馆产生更广泛的社会和专业影响。
