This international symposium aims to promote and communicate inter-
disciplinary research on historical, theoretical and museological aspects
of natural history museums. Bringing together a critical mass of
scholarship engaged in research in this area, the conference will develop a
theoretical community concerned with 'natural museology'. Papers provide
innovative methodological or reflexive insights and are based on original
research.
The conference will be hosted by the Manchester Museum, and is also
supported by the British Acdemy; the University of Manchester (School of
Arts, Histories and Cultures; Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in the
Arts; Centre for Museology), the Museums and Galleries History Group and
the Society for the History of Natural History.
