Taylor & Francis Museums in a Digital Age Leicester Readers in Museum Studies
Book SynopsisThe influence of digital media on the cultural heritage sector has been pervasive and profound. Today museums are reliant on new technology to manage their collections. They collect digital as well as material things. New media is embedded within their exhibition spaces. And their activity online is as important as their physical presence on site. However, âdigital heritageâ (as an area of practice and as a subject of study) does not exist in one single place. Its evidence base is complex, diverse and distributed, and its content is available through multiple channels, on varied media, in myriad locations, and different genres of writing.It is this diaspora of material and practice that this Reader is intended to address. With over forty chapters (by some fifty authors and co-authors), from around the world, spanning over twenty years of museum practice and research, this volume acts as an aggregator drawing selectively from a notoriously distributed network of content. Divided into seven parts (on information, space, access, interpretation, objects, production and futures), the book presents a series of cross-sections through the body of digital heritage literature, each revealing how a different aspect of curatorship and museum provision has been informed, shaped or challenged by computing.Museums in a Digital Age is a provocative and inspiring guide for any student or practitioner of digital heritage.Trade Review“Museums in a Digital Age is thus a timely consideration of the role of the digital in the entire spectrum of museum activities…The…volume is…something much more attuned to the digital age which is its basis – a highly diverse, even eclectic, collection of papers broadly centred around the subject of the work.” – Historic Environment Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) An International Study of Film Museums
Book SynopsisAn International Study of Film Museums examines how cinema has been transformed and strengthened through museological and archival activities since its origins and asks what paradoxes may be involved, if any, in putting cinema into a museum. Cere explores the ideas that were first proposed during the first half of the twentieth century around the need to establish national museums of cinema and how these have been adapted in the subsequent development of the five case studies presented here: four in Europe and one in the USA. The book traces the history of the five museums'' foundation, exhibitions, collections, and festivals organised under their aegis and it asks how they resolve the tensions between cinema as an aesthetic artefact now officially recognised as part of humanity''s cultural heritage and cinema as an entertainment and leisure activity. It also gives an account of recent developments around unifying collections, exhibition activitiesTrade Review"In The Love of Cinema, Rinella Cere provides a fascinating account of the various and sometimes conflicting impulses, interests and policies behind the development of film museums as sites for the presentation of cinema’s history and heritage. While some museums have been primarily devoted to preserving the technologies for film production and exhibition, others like the Cinémathèque Française have seen their principal role as being the acquisition, preservation and display of films of the past. Still others have sought to curate the social history of cinema and its audiences, while the critics of film museums – among them Francois Truffaut and Joseph Losey – have seen them as futile attempts "to preserve a transient art," no more than "a gimmick for tourists." The Love of Cinema explores the diverse conceptions of what a film museum might be and the motives and personalities of the dedicated individuals who created five of the world’s leading film museums, largely without state support or public funding, in France, Britain, Italy, Catalonia and the US. In the breadth of its coverage and its illuminating detail, Cere’s work demonstrates how our understanding of cinema’s archaeology and evolution has been deepened by the archival and museological activities of the institutions she examines." – Richard Maltby, Flinders University, South Australia"An important work on the world of the film museum based on original research on institutions including the Cinémathèque Française, Britain’s National Science and Media Museum, and the George Eastman Museum in the United States, and key individuals such as Ernest Lindgren and Henri Langlois. Dr Cere deftly combines accounts of the historical development of her case studies with critical reflection on the different and contrasting notions of the film museum embodied in their practices. The cultural enterprise of establishing an institution incorporating a film archive, physical apparatuses such as cameras and projectors, and the numerous forms of documentation (studio records, memoirs) relevant to the cinema, is a complex process and Dr Cere’s work reveals the ways in which it has been interpreted in different ways in different countries with different film heritages." – Tom Ryall, Sheffield Hallam University, UK"In An International Study of Film Museums, Rinella Cere provides a fascinating account of the various and sometimes conflicting impulses, interests and policies behind the development of film museums as sites for the presentation of cinema’s history and heritage.

As this is a primarily historical study, I appreciated Cere’s consistent investigation of the relationship of various museums with FIAF, the international organisation of film archivists." - Dina Iordanova, University of St Andrews, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1 The birth of the museum of Cinema; Chapter 2 The National Science and Media Museum; Chapter 3 Who is guarding the treasures now?
