A commitment to common-sense universal design principles opens the dialogue about what matters in our history and culture to every citizen, thus enriching our communities through better education and community engagement. * AASLH History News *Programming for People with Special Needs is an invaluable manual with clear, concise examples of how museums benefit when they open their doors, exhibits, and programming to all audiences in a community. A commitment to common-sense universal design principles opens the dialogue about what matters in our history and culture to every citizen, thus enriching our communities through better education and community engagement. -- Carroll Van West, director of the Center for Historic Preservation at Middle Tennessee University, and Tennessee State HistorianProgramming for People with Special Needs is an important new resource for any museum or historic site serious about expanding their current audience base and preparing for tomorrow’s visitors. While the ADA already requires us to accommodate visitors’ physical needs, it is equally important that our programs consider the needs of visitors experiencing various forms of learning and intellectual disabilities, including memory loss, especially since their numbers are expected to increase dramatically over the next several decades.

Book SynopsisElizabeth Edwards is Research Professor of Photographic History and Director of the Photographic History Research Centre, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.Christopher Morton is Curator of Photograph and Manuscript Collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, UK and Lecturer in Visual and Material Anthropology at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford, UK.Trade ReviewWhoever suspected that museums’ photography collections could be digitized and then discarded will change their mind after reading this groundbreaking book that brings together leading academics and curators. Anonymous and mostly uncatalogued photographs are restored with not only their biographies, but also a material future, as a key to a broader understanding of collecting history. * Dr Costanza Caraffa, Head of Photo Library, Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, Max Planck Institute, Italy *With breadth of vision and depth of understanding, this editorial collaboration constitutes a critical addition to the self-reflexive literature on museum history and practice, at the same time enlarging the history of photography as a field of study and shifting it onto a robust institutional plane. * Joan M. Schwartz, Professor, History of Photography, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada *This book is a compilation of essays about collecting and curatorial practices unique to photographic collections. The editors argue that issues related to the technical, ephemeral, and serial qualities of photographs, along with the medium’s relatively short history, have led to their marginalization within museums, yet these collections are ‘increasingly being understood as knowledge-objects in their own right.’ An introductory chapter provides a theoretical and historical overview of the place of photographic collections in the museum setting. Developed as part of an international conference held in Leicester, England, and organized into five topical sections, the essays explore several notable photographic collections, the information value of photographs, the history of collecting photographs, and curatorial practices for photograph collections. Essays detailing how portrait photography solidified Charles Darwin’s professional network and aided his work on evolution, examining photographs documenting revolution in Cuba of the 1950s and 1960s, and creating images of the Maori people of New Zealand illustrate the breath of this volume. It will be of particular interest to students of photographic history and museum professionals. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections. -- P. A.

Book Synopsis

Book SynopsisThis book is a practical guide for everyone who is confronted with a collection that hasn't seen any preventive conservation or cataloging before. It helps gaining an overview, defining priorities, and organizing the work in a way it is safe for the objects and the people involved. It defines logical exits, goals to work towards where the collection is in a state the next steps can wait without risking the progress made. Later on, readers learn to define their own logical exits that fit their specific situation.Compared to other books about collections management it doesn't focus on the details of collections care, but rather on the big picture of managing such a project. It assumes that at the beginning there is nothing but the reader and an unmanaged collection, so that part of the project is to source money, material, and people to help. The second edition has a new chapter on setting up collections management systems, the original text was reworked and in parts enhanced, there are additional success stories in the last chapter with references to them in the text, and the bibliography now contains some resources for natural history, indigenous, and archaeological collections.

Book SynopsisInge Daniels is Associate Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford, UK.Trade ReviewThe text and illustration of this book are attractive, even beautiful. The writing is very clear, and the material on the variety of visitors and their responses is both original and rich. * George E. Marcus, University of California, Irvine, USA *Given that exhibitions are such a constant presence in our contemporary world, it is surprising how rarely we concern ourselves with what they actually do. But Inge Daniels, a thoughtful, scholarly and responsible anthropologist, asked - what are the consequences of an exhibition? If we provide more opportunities for interaction, and more fully engage the senses of our visitors, what then will they take away from this experience? The major contribution of this book is to show how anthropology itself, when astutely deployed, can provide a means to answer fundamental questions that apply to all exhibitions. * Daniel Miller, UCL, UK *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction: What Are Exhibitions For?

Book SynopsisTurning to a region of South Italy associated with Greater Greece and the geographies of Homer''s Odyssey, Marco Benoît Carbone delivers a historical and ethnographic treatment of how places defined in public imagination and media by their associated histories become sites of memory and identity, as their landscape and mythologies turn into insignia of a romanticised antiquity.For the ancient Greeks, Homer had set the marine monsters of the Odyssey in the Strait between Calabria and Sicily. Since then, this passage has been glowing with the aura of its mythological landmarks. Travellers and tourists have played Odysseus by re-enacting his journey. Scholars and explorers have explained the myths as metaphors of whirlpools and marine fauna. The iconic Strait and village of Scilla have turned into place-myths and playgrounds, defined by the region''s heritage.Carbone observes the enduring impact of Hellas on the real Strait today. The continuous rekindling of cultural and viTrade Review[A]n innovative investigation into the relationship between the Scylla and Charybdis of the Odyssey and the southern Italian town of Scilla. * Greece and Rome *Carbone’s ethnographic approach to Homeric and Greek narratives in southern Italy can be useful for everyone who studies and teaches the artifacts and texts of the ancient Greek world...There is much anti-racist work to do, and for it to make a difference, plenty of people, from all kinds of standpoints, need to undertake such work. Carbone’s study is a model for what some of that work can look like, accomplish, and inspire. -- Catherine Connors * Arion: A Journal of the Humanities and the Classics *The book’s investigation into contemporary culture and ethnography is an excavation inside the minds, bodies, perceptions and languages of the inhabitants of the ‘scilleccariddi Region’. * The Classical Review *This text is an exciting entry in the study of ancient Greece and antiquities. The author skillfully weaves historical analyses of Greece, Homer’s Odyssey, and ancient mythology with ethnographic considerations of the contemporary Strait of Messina. A welcomed and necessary study of the significance of ancient Greek mythology in the contemporary world. -- Scott A.

Book SynopsisThe archaeology of the contemporary era is a lively and well-established field, contributing to studies of migration, climate change, consumption and violent conflict, as well as to the development of archaeological thought and practice more widely. Contemporary archaeology is grounded in the material traces of 20th and 21st-century existence, touching upon fields such as human geography, contemporary history and social anthropology. Despite its scholarly impacts and widely-recognised pedagogical values, to date the formal teaching of contemporary archaeology has been relatively limited. This book brings together accounts of teaching and learning in contemporary archaeology from as far afield as Orkney and Iran.The chapters include case studies of courses, modules and specific sessions, as well as reflections on the development of the discipline in different contexts. This book is intended as a resource for both teachers and students of contemporary archaeology, presenting aTrade ReviewTeaching and Learning the Archaeology of the Contemporary Era is a timely and important contribution to the ever-evolving field of contemporary archaeology. The volume does an excellent job of highlighting the diversity and creativity of approaches used by educators and practitioners, showcasing how teaching contemporary archaeology can both strengthen existing archaeological education and offer avenues for reconceptualising the field entirely. -- Miriam Rothenberg, Junior Research Fellow, University of Oxford, UKTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Contributors Introduction: Pedagogy in Contemporary Archaeology (Gabriel Moshenska, University College London, UK) I.

Book SynopsisHow does museum location shape the interpretation of an art object by critics, curators, art historians, and others? To what extent is the value of a work of art determined by its location? Providing a close examination of individual works of American art in relation to gallery and museum location, this anthology presents case studies of paintings, sculpture, photographs, and other media that explore these questions about the relationship between location and the prescribed meaning of art. It takes an alternate perspective in that it provides in-depth analysis of works of art that are less well known than the usual American art suspects, and in locations outside of art museums in major urban cultural centers. By doing so, the contributors to this volume reveal that such a shift in focus yields an expanded and more complex understanding of American art. Close examinations are given to works located in small and mid-sized art museums throughout the United States, museums that generally Trade Review'Locating American Art is truly groundbreaking in every sense of the word. With its focus on lesser-known collections, this compendium of essays by a diverse group of scholars unearths manifold treasures in unexpected places far from the metropolis and its powerful institutions. Excitingly eclectic in its approach, the book embraces artists both canonical and obscure, celebrated and utterly unsung, and arrays them on a level playing field. It vividly suggests just how much there is still to discover by venturing beyond the center and delving wholeheartedly into the rich ground of the periphery. Altogether, Locating American Art is an invigorating departure from business as usual.' Sarah Burns, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA'An impressive achievement, Locating American Art is a tightly knit anthology of case studies that shifts attention from our usual focus on major artworks in major collections to those that reside in university museums, historic houses, even high schools and department stores. Forcing us to recognize that the institution an artwork calls home shapes its interpretation, it implicitly critiques the canon and offers alternative narratives for art of the United States. The range of participating authors, their diverse methodologies and probing scholarship make this an exciting and significant volume. "Location, location, location," the mantra of real estate, should now also be embraced by art history. This book has the potential to be a game-changer.'
