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访问藏品的背景下协作生产知识的重要性。因此，对藏品的访问被认为是早期地球科学中的一种核心认识实践。第二，地球科学藏品应作为科学知识和技术方法的生产、流通和巩固的网络场所加以记录和多样化描述。第三，这种对藏品的关注和对藏品的参观是为了突出分散研究的情况，以及私营利益攸关方在地球科学学术体制化之前相继形成和内部专业化的地球科学的重要性。总体而言，这一位于历史科学和地质科学交汇处的跨学科项目有望为新兴地球科学的收藏提供一个新的轮廓。

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.
