Think Like a Curator
Most history museums—large and small, indoor and outdoor—have a staff member with the title of curator, or at minimum, have tasks that can be classified as curator’s work. But, understanding what is involved in doing this work is more complicated than it seems. This book will help you to “think like a curator.” Written by an author who has spent 45 years doing this type of work at one of the largest history museums in the country, this book guides the reader through curatorial methodology in today’s world with topics that include: reading objects; shaping collections; engaging in rigorous research; the curatorial role in exhibitions and historic site interpretation; the basics of curatorial writing; and curators as leaders. It gives special focus to applying DEAI lenses, as well as aligning with institutional mission and goals, incorporating audience perspectives, and using conceptual and systems thinking. Both succinct and substantial, this book includes easy explanations, step-by-step process guides, practical tips, real-life examples, activities, and source lists.
Everyday Objects
Material culture research has become an increasingly important aspect of the study of medieval and early modern societies, yet its study often remains uncoordinated and confined to narrow subject specific boundaries. As such, scholars will welcome this volume which provides an overview of various methodological strands currently developing across a range of disciplines. Taking a refreshingly broad approach, the collection explores 'everyday objects' as a way of questioning the relationship between material culture and historical themes. In so doing it highlights the way in which the study of objects can provide unexpected access to the 'lived experience' of individuals who may otherwise have left little impact in the written records.
