Artefacts, Archives, and Documentation in the Relational Museum
provides the first interdisciplinary study of the digital
documentation of artefacts and archives in contemporary museums,
while also exploring the implications of polyphonic, relational
thinking on collections documentation. Drawing on case studies from
Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the book
provides a critical examination of the history of collections
management and documentation since the introduction of computers to
museums in the 1960s, demonstrating how technology has contributed
to the disconnection of distributed collections knowledge. Jones
also highlights how separate documentation systems have developed,
managed by distinct, increasingly professionalised staff, impacting
our ability to understand and use what we find in museums and their
ever-expanding online collections. Exploring this legacy allows us
to rethink current practice, focusing less on individual objects
and more on the rich stories and interconnected resources that lie
at the heart of the contemporary, plural, participatory 'relational
museum.' Artefacts, Archives, and Documentation in the Relational
Museum is essential reading for those who wish to better understand
the institutional silos found in museums, and the changes required
to make museum knowledge more accessible. The book is a
particularly important addition to the fields of museum studies,
archival science, information management, and the history of
cultural heritage technologies.
