Preserving the material culture of contemporary life science and technology (360G-Wellcome-094308_Z_10_Z)
I propose to undertake research on the role of university museums in preserving the material culture of contemporary life sciences and technology (LS&T) during the academic year 2010-11. The research questions to be addressed are: What is the current role of university museums in Europe in preserving the contemporary culture of life sciences and technology (LS&T)? What are the current aspirations of universities museums in Europe in the area of contemporary LS&T? What are the key opportunities and incentives for, and key obstacles or barriers in the path of, contemporary collecting in LS&T? What are the opportunities for effective collaboration between university museums in the area of contemporary collecting in LS& T? The aim of the project is to develop a plan for more effective collaboration between museums with common interests in preserving the contemporary culture of LS&T.
