*Artefacts Consortium *


The Artefacts Consortium  <http://www.artefactsconsortium.org/>is an
international association of historians in museums and academic
institutions who share the goal of promoting the use of objects in serious
historical studies. Artefacts meetings are opportunities for professionals
to explore the use, care, and interpretation of objects and collections.


*Meeting Theme: Relevance of Collections*


The 2018 Artefacts meeting will explore how museums and related
institutions have defined and maintained the relevance of their
collections. This follows up on themes explored in previous Artefacts
meetings
and described in the volume *Challenging Collections *from the Artefacts XVI
meeting. As the editors note in the introduction to this volume, museums
today “*must balance a number of functions, not always mutually compatible:
exhibition, preservation, research, and education. …  the nature of
museums’ relationships with their public has shifted from one of
unquestioned authority to a partner in dialogue” *(Boyle and Hagmann
2017). At the same time, humanities scholars have had increased interest in
objects, collections, and museums.  For a range of stakeholders,
collections provoke questions of status and purpose that are,
organizational, social, and intellectual.


As context and events changed how museums operate, how have scholars at
museums and other institutions approached the relevance of collections? In
what way have interpretations changed depending on prevalent historiography
and motivations of the interpreter? What is the impact of changing
techniques available for examining objects? How do institutions prioritize
acquisitions and displays for their collections? How has the growing
importance of digital access affected the role of collections? More
generally, in what ways are history collections relevant to broader society?


This meeting will allow scholars within and outside the museum community to
explore how the relevance of museum collections has changed through
history. It will also enable museum professionals to pose challenging
questions about the present and future of relevance of collections.


*Call for Papers*


The deadline for submitting papers and session proposals is July 20.

We particularly welcome paper and session proposals addressing the
following topics:


- Collections and artifacts in the identity and public image of museums and
similar institutions



- Shifts in the scope and focus of collecting while balancing
scholarly activities and public engagement


- Shifts in object interpretation and display in response to societal
changes and pressures


- The place of scholarly inquiry in shaping the maintenance, development,
and use of collections


- Challenges in setting priorities for the use and maintenance of collection


- The role of digital collections in museum practice and audience
engagement.
