Building heritage infrastructure network: community, locality, and materiality in the museum storeroom

该网络将探讨如何通过社区主导的参与和研究模式创建动态的储存藏品，以产生新的知识和解释方法，同时测试当前策展和保护做法的界限。为了反映这一挑战的国际性，三个遗产合作伙伴和两所大学提交了网络申请：威斯敏斯特大学、科学博物馆集团、威尔士国家博物馆、加拿大科学和技术博物馆(Ingenium的一部分)和雷丁大学。所有三家博物馆合作伙伴都在将他们的藏品转移到新的储藏室，并制定策略，以增加观众对未展出藏品的参与度和参与度。此外，每个组织都共享围绕科学、技术和工业历史的互补收藏，以及复杂的社会历史收藏。

This network will explore how to create dynamic stored collections through community-led models of engagement and research to generate new knowledge and lines of interpretation while testing the boundaries of current curatorial and conservation practice. Reflecting the international nature of this challenge the network has been submitted by three heritage partners and two universities: the University of Westminster, the Science Museum Group, National Museums Wales, the Canada Science and Technology Museum (part of Ingenium) and the University of Reading. All three museum partners are moving their collections into new storage and developing strategies to increase audience engagement and participation with collections not on display. Further, each of the organisations share complementary collections around histories of science, technology, and industry as well as complex social history collections.
