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

该网络将探索如何通过社区主导的参与和研究模式创造动态的收藏，以产生新的知识和解释路线，同时测试当前策展和保护实践的边界。为了反映这一挑战的国际性，该网络由三个遗产合作伙伴和两所大学提交：威斯敏斯特大学、科学博物馆集团、威尔士国家博物馆、加拿大科学技术博物馆（Ingenium的一部分）和雷丁大学。这三家博物馆合作伙伴都在将藏品转移到新的存储空间，并制定策略，提高观众对未展出藏品的参与度。此外，每个组织都共享有关科学、技术和工业历史以及复杂的社会历史的补充收藏。

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.
