项目摘要

Key hypothesis: the development and decline of the RUSI Museum articulates a particular, semi-authorised reading of British imperial history from the late eighteenth century to the empire's dissolution in the 1960s.The RUSI Museum, 1831-1962, is a 'lost' museum with collections that have left their 'ghostly' presence across national and international museums and private collections. It survives as an archival record, or shadow, in the heritage and legacy of RUSI. My key approach, as outlined above, is to interrogate my hypothesis that the development and decline of the RUSI Museum reflects British imperial history from the late eighteenth century to the dissolution of empire as British colonies demanded their independence.This hypothesis has been formed through my curatorial practice at RUSI and my research in the RUSI archives. This began with the presentation of papers on the Institute's history, and its collections, for the Library and Information History Group and the Museum and Galleries History Group conferences of 2018. The interested responses from other participants at these conferences, along with the regular influx of enquiries I receive about objects that were held in the museum, demonstrates an ongoing interest in the history of the 'lost' museum. It has almost mythic status, so that citing it in an object's provenance in a sales catalogue adds significant cultural, if not financial, value.

关键假设：发展和下降的入寺博物馆阐明了一个特定的，半授权的阅读英国帝国的历史，从十八世纪后期的世纪帝国的解散在20世纪60年代。入寺博物馆，1831年至1962年，是一个'失去'的博物馆与收藏，已经离开了他们的'幽灵'存在全国和国际博物馆和私人收藏。它生存作为档案记录，或阴影，在遗产和遗产入寺。我的主要方法，如上所述，是询问我的假设，发展和入寺博物馆的衰落反映了英国帝国的历史，从十八世纪后期的解散帝国作为英国殖民地要求他们的独立。这一假设已经形成了通过我在入寺策展实践和我在入寺档案研究。这始于2018年图书馆和信息历史小组以及博物馆和画廊历史小组会议上关于该研究所历史及其藏品的论文介绍。其他与会者在这些会议上的感兴趣的反应，沿着我收到的关于博物馆中保存的物品的定期查询，表明了对“失落”博物馆历史的持续兴趣。它几乎具有神话般的地位，因此在销售目录中引用它作为物品的出处会增加重要的文化价值，如果不是经济价值的话。
