项目摘要

The purpose of this grant is for an international network of scholars to explore how and why members of the Royal Society (RS), the Society of Antiquaries of London (SAL) and the Leopoldina (German Academy of Science, Halle) collected specimens of the natural world, art, and archaeology in the 17th and 18th centuries. These scholarly societies, founded before knowledge became subspecialised, had many common members. They explored natural philosophy (what we call science), antiquarianism (archaeology), and medicine in an interdisciplinary manner. In fact, the Leopoldina was begun not by scientists, but by doctors in 1652. Several of the fellows of the RS (founded 1660) and SAL (founded 1717), were also physicians and apothecaries. The overall shift from curiosity cabinets with objects playfully crossing the domains of art and nature, to their well-ordered Enlightenment museums is well known. What has to be explored fully is the process through which this transformation occurred, and the role of members of these academies in developing new techniques of classifying and organising objects to create the modern museum. How did academy fellows relate collections of art and nature in new ways, categorising knowledge and shaping global scientific enterprise? How was collection of ethnographic objects related to empire?Results from three of the network's workshops held from 2018-2019 will be used to develop a digital application of these academies' private and public collections that is integrated and pan-European. The workshops will be attended by a network of early-career and established scholars from the academic and heritage sectors who will draw in the histories of science, art, antiquarianism and material culture, and engage closely with a range of key public collections at the respective organisations. Workshop 1:Early modern collecting networks and practice: medicine and natural philosophy (At Leopoldina). As the RS, SAL and the Leopoldina consisted of a large number of doctors, we will analyse these early modern physicians and their approaches to collecting. Participants will also engage with the Leopoldina archives and the early museum housed in the August Francke Orphanage in Halle. In the 17th c., Francke created a global art and science museum as an experiential teaching tool for the children in his care; his learning-by-doing approach included teaching the children music that they publicly performed. The Francke Orphanage was a model for Coram's Foundling Hospital founded in 18th-century London, which via public concerts of music of Handel (who was from Halle) also raised money for the orphans. The network will consider the wider utility of collecting, antiquarianism and society, taking as its lead the involvement of medical and antiquarian collectors and their museums in early modern charity. To engage the public with our work, we will sponsor benefit music concerts in Halle and London for the Coram and Francke Museum and Foundation.Workshop 2:Antiquarian Science in the Scholarly Society (At SAL). Beyond the disciplines of medicine and natural history, physical scientists like mathematician and astronomer Martin Folkes (1690-1754) also were connoisseurs and antiquarians. Folkes was Sir Isaac Newton's protege, President of both the RS and SAL, and he tried to unite the two societies as they had many common members and interests. We will discuss the interplay and disciplinary boundaries between antiquarianism and natural philosophy and engage with the early modern museum collection at the SAL. This workshop would be a joint event with SAL as one of its Research Seminars. Workshop 3:Digital scientific collections: future afterlives (At RS). To plan our digital application, we will analyse current and developing digital approaches in surveying collections over time with the assistance of the RS-Google initiative, including integration of extant databases, data-mining and digital modelling of museum objects

这项资助的目的是建立一个国际学者网络，以探索皇家学会（RS）、伦敦古物学会（SAL）和Leopoldina（德国科学院，哈雷）的成员如何以及为什么在17世纪和18世纪收集自然世界、艺术和考古学的标本。这些学术团体在知识成为次级专业之前就成立了，有许多共同的成员。他们以跨学科的方式探索自然哲学（我们称之为科学），古物学（考古学）和医学。事实上，Leopoldina不是由科学家而是由医生在1652年开始的。RS（成立于1660年）和SAL（成立于1717年）的几位研究员也是医生和药剂师。从充满好奇心的橱柜，将艺术和自然领域的物品有趣地跨越，到井然有序的启蒙博物馆的整体转变是众所周知的。必须充分探讨的是这种转变发生的过程，以及这些学院成员在开发对物品进行分类和组织的新技术以创建现代博物馆方面所发挥的作用。学院研究员如何以新的方式将艺术和自然的收藏联系起来，对知识进行分类并塑造全球科学企业？民族志物品的收集与帝国有什么关系？2018-2019年期间举办的三个网络研讨会的成果将用于开发这些学院的私人和公共收藏的数字应用程序，该应用程序是集成的和泛欧的。研讨会将由来自学术和遗产部门的早期职业和成熟学者组成的网络参加，他们将借鉴科学，艺术，古物和物质文化的历史，并与各组织的一系列重要公共收藏密切合作。讲习班1：早期现代收集网络和实践：医学和自然哲学（在Leopoldina）。由于RS，SAL和Leopoldina由大量的医生组成，我们将分析这些早期的现代医生及其收集方法。与会者还将与Leopoldina档案馆和位于哈雷八月弗兰克孤儿院的早期博物馆进行接触。在17世纪，Francke创建了一个全球艺术和科学博物馆，作为他照顾的孩子们的体验式教学工具;他的边做边学方法包括教孩子们公开表演的音乐。弗朗克孤儿院是18世纪伦敦成立的科拉姆弃儿医院的典范，该医院通过韩德尔（来自哈雷）的音乐会为孤儿筹集资金。该网络将考虑收集、古物和社会的更广泛的效用，并以医学和古物收藏家及其博物馆参与早期现代慈善事业为主导。为了让公众参与我们的工作，我们将在哈雷和伦敦为科拉姆和弗兰克博物馆和基金会赞助慈善音乐会。工作坊2：学术社会中的古董科学（在SAL）。除了医学和自然历史学科之外，物理科学家，如数学家和天文学家马丁·福克斯（1690-1754）也是鉴赏家和古物学家。福克斯是艾萨克·牛顿爵士的门徒，RS和SAL的主席，他试图将两个社会团结起来，因为他们有许多共同的成员和利益。我们将讨论古董主义和自然哲学之间的相互作用和学科界限，并与SAL的早期现代博物馆藏品进行接触。该讲习班将是与空间研究所联合举办的活动，作为其研究研讨会之一。研讨会3：数字科学收藏：未来的来世（在RS）。为了规划我们的数字应用程序，我们将在RS-Google计划的帮助下，分析当前和正在开发的调查藏品的数字方法，包括整合现有数据库、数据挖掘和博物馆物品的数字建模
