Full textConcerned about the conservation of their art collections, in the years between 1789 and 1870, Parisian amateurs called upon the services of painting restorers, who, at that time, belonged to a profession considered quite separate from that of art dealer, expert or even painter. While the restorer worked on paintings belonging to private collectors, he also acted as a guide for the latter, broadening their knowledge of Ŕ or even teaching them about Ŕ pictorial techniques. This understanding of the materiality of artworks gradually contributed to collectors being invited into museum committees as advisors, before they acquired a privileged status in museums, from the 1860s onwards, by bequeathing their collections

Full textA new approach of “biological archives” can be illustrated by the “thoughtful” conservation of anthropological collections. The aim of our investigation is to improve the field of curation and scientific exploitation of “human remains library”. In that way, we are developing specific tools which are dedicated to an amelioration of both definition and curation of anthropological series. The epistemological perspective of anthropological series is take into account and we are developing a new classification adapted to their scientific management. We are also proposing a curation system constituted by tree databases dedicated to the storage of data concerning collections, individuals and their associated paleopathological features based on Marseilles and Szeged Department of Anthropology of. A comparison with 40 different places of storage could have been realised. Furthermore, a bibliographical study allowed the identification of the main patterns of long term curation

Full textThe vagaries of film preservation (within the film industry) has led to a considerable number of films to vanish. While film and audiovisual archives institutions have multiplied and they have significant funds, there are at the same time in France amateurs, collectors of silver film prints, which sometimes have rare or unique titles in all formats. Beyond release films, specialized for amateur market, face a legal environment often hostile to their passion, their activities and even their existence are unknown. Knowledge of available resources is still desirable in terms of heritage but also functional when the transition process chain engineering manufacturing and distribution of photochemical film to digital began last few years. The digitization of holdings listed should remain incomplete for long and many films will be invisible. Private collectors could further collaborate with institutions and rightholders to the preservation of French cinema

as a method for conservation of cultural and natural heritage areas at regional scale. Defining a framework of conceptual principles which should be considered in spatial planning of cultural routes and regional networks constitutes the major aim of the thesis. Within the scope of the study, a new developing concept recently, cultural routes are discussed as a tool for sustaining historic and local values of rural and archaeological landscapes. In this respect, the study is structured in two main parts. Firstly, conceptual background on the issue is discussed as the development of cultural route concept, definitions declared by international organizations working on the issue and principles of route planning. Secondly, based on the conceptual research, basic concepts and principles for route planning process is discussed through a case study. The case study for the thesis is selected as the Kas- Kekova region in Antalya, known as the Central Lycia in antiquity. Depending on the assessment of region&rsquo
s cultural landscape, the study is resulted by description of a spatial and conceptual framework for planning of a cultural route network in the region. Through areas rich in cultural and natural heritage, planning routes and networks at regional scale could be used as an effective tool for presenting and sustaining multivalent character of the place, and leading economic sectors which have effect on heritage.

Full textFor the XVth century Italy was a playground of favourite of collectors, private individuals among whom some very early placed their collections at the disposal of the public. The curious collect objects for the most part of the cases for reasons for being able to, of politics or still religious option, but not with the aim of preserving them. However the development of networks of sociability and business in the XVIth century made cabinets of curiosity an European reality. When the collectors die, certain collections are sold and of other one transformed into museum from the XVIIth century, others are also, in the XVIIIth and in the XIXth century, at the origin of collections kept at present in high schools and universities. The history of the European collections, including with regard to the most recent evolution of museums, allows to think about what can and have to be collections today, and as regards their preservation and the conditions of their study, and as for their opening to the public. Yet further to major discoveries in paleontology in Africa, and with the aim of managing and valuing these collections, numerou national museums settle in capitals and museum representation change to become real museums oriented developments of scientific research. It is also through the paleontological discoveries in Africa that the whole world and the Africans became aware themselves of the diversity and the immense natural and patrimonial wealth of this continent. The paleontological collections of the Chad present a very important scientific interest, which results from their impact on the knowledge of the " Origin and the History of the Human Family ". On more than 20 000 fossil specimens brought to light by the MPFT, 18343 are inventoried and digitized, including 316 types and figured, a database was built with these guys and figured in Access is posted on the CNAR Site and catalogs on these type specimens were also developed and printed in this work. These collections constitute one of the richest paleontological collections of Central Africa today, in particular for the period of Mio-Pliocène (from 7,3 to 3 My). Also generates an undeniable socio- cultural issue. A study is conducted and trails are proposed to ensure not only a true conservation policy but also of valuation, including the general public. Our thesis intends to contribute on second thought on the future of the African, in particular Chadian collections

Full textThis research concentrates on the methods of exhibitions of the Roman archaeological collections in museums in French and in Syria. It constructs two parts. The first theoretical part consists of three chapters which approach the development of the archaeological museum, the muséale architecture, the museum of site, the conservation and the restoration, the chain operating archaeological objects, the exhibition, the interpretation, the mediation, and finally the study of public and the valuation of exposition. The second part composes of three chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to the development of archaeological museum in French, it talks about four museums of different disciplines which present collections and Gallo-Roman archaeological sites (Lyon, Dijon, Autun and Bibracte). The second chapter approaches three different museums of Syrians present collections and the Romans archaeological sites (Damascus, Suweida and Bosra). Finally, the third chapter presents a field study which treats the results of the surveys of the public in the museums studied in Syria and in French, and which shows a comparative study between the archeological museums and their public in both countries

Full textThe appearance of crystalline efflorescence on calcareous objects stored in polluted environments is commonly referred to as "Byne's decay". It results from the emission of acidic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from storage materials, which react with calcium carbonate to form organic calcium salts. This includes acetates and mixed acetate-formate salts that cause irreversible deterioration of the substrate. Until now, only macroscopic objects undergoing Byne's decay had been reported in the literature.This work focuses on how Byne's decay can also affect microscopic calcareous specimens from micropaleontology collections. It was initiated by the digitization of the foraminifera collection of Alcide d'Orbigny (1802-1857), housed at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN), which revealed significant damage due to the presence of saline efflorescences.A condition report was carried out on the whole of the d'Orbigny collection (more than 3600 specimens), highlighting that the alterations, both ancient and evolutionary, are influenced by the crystallinity of the tests and the origin of the places where the foraminifera were collected. Similar collections closely located were examined for comparison and archival research was conducted to trace the material history of the collection since its entry into the MNHN. They highlight several moves and accidents such as the flooding of the Seine in 1910, which would explain the particularly high levels of humidity inside the tubes where the foraminifera are kept. Significant variations in temperature, combined with the presence of VOC-emitting materials introduced at the end of the 19th century in the assembly of the specimens, are thus at the origin of the acid pollution and the proliferation of salts.At the same time, an artificial aging procedure was developed to reproduce Byne's decay on unaltered specimens. The degradation products formed on the aged specimens, as well as on a representative selection of historical ones, were analysed non-invasively and without contact by using micro-Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. These analyses revealed mineralogical phases different from those observed in the literature on macroscopic collections. Thus, calcium formates and especially the tetragonal polymorphic phase [β-Ca(HCOO)2] known to be unstable when synthesized in laboratory conditions, predominate. No calcium acetate or mixed salt could be identified on d'Orbigny's foraminifera. Aging shows that the relative humidity and the size of the specimens play a primordial role in the formation of the salts: humid conditions favour the crystallization of calcium formate directly on the specimen, while acetate, very hygroscopic, is subject to deliquescence-crystallization cycles that lead to its redispersion around micrometer-scale specimens.Finally, to better understand the predominance of calcium formate [β-Ca(HCOO)2], different calcium formate solutions were left to evaporate and placed in environments with different humidity to study the transformation towards the stable phase [α-Ca(HCOO)2]. Semi-quantitative analysis of the products shows that the presence of ions such as those found in foraminiferal shells (Mg2+, Sr2+…) favours the formation of the metastable phase and slows down the transition β-->α.This work shows that the nature of the salts formed by Byne's decay is not only dependent on the VOCs present, but also on the size of the specimens, their composition, their test crystallization, and the moisture and temperature cycles to which they were exposed

Full textCurious about the unexplained advent of the fashion museum, this study originated with the task of identifying and examining the basic characteristics of the “fashion museum, ” which it considers to be a historically specific construct. Since the 1990’s, the fashion museum has asserted itself in the cultural world as a new model of museum. This study inquires into the phenomena that undergirded this flourishing. If this institution first appeared in the 1980’s, it originated from an older model known as the “costume museum”. Thus I intend to undertake a study on the “fashion museum” using the observable phenomenon of the museum itself. To do so, this project inscribes the “fashion museum” in a long heritage tradition, demonstrating the conditions of its emergence and the trajectory that dress collections followed within the broader museum landscape, including the development of other forms of museums, from the first “costume museum” to the fashion museum of today. From a museological perspective, the fashion museum’s arrival as a new category of museum may seem truncated, and introduces ambiguity in the practices of dress collections. On the one hand, its discourse about objects is necessarily incomplete because it does not take into account the full range of typologies of vestimentary artifacts; on the other hand, it siphons interest away from older or less sumptuous collections. This type of museum exists in a state of tension, beholden to the insistence of speaking of “fashion” garments or of haute couture, rather than of costumes, which might appear outmoded. Indeed, the social sciences have show that fashion is a portmanteau word, a point of entry towards understanding the phenomenon of clothing: the history and culture of looks, the economics and sociology of appearances, the technical and industrial systems of dress. A new wave has begun for both research and museums. The passion that fashion elicits in the cultural sphere, with the attention scholars bring to the subject, has contributed to revisiting the approach of even the oldest collections and to stimulating the museological reflection this typology of museum objects that has attained an increasingly significant place within the heritage sector. Museum institutions connected with fashion are far from acquiring only contemporary pieces. The aim of this project is to generate a museology of the vestimentary heritage, thanks to research undertaken dealing with the fundamental characteristics of this phenomenon, a kind of inventory of the museum landscape, and understanding the future prospects of these collections. From the conditions under which the fashion museums emerged, this study seeks to establish a new category of knowledge about the cultural history of clothing: its genesis as heritage and its trajectory as a fitting set of objects for a museum context. On a theoretical level, this dissertation is concerned with the processes of “herigatization” and “musealization, ” essentially those processes by which a type of object becomes part of heritage and of museums. With the goal of explaining these processes, I have therefore conceived of an analytical matrix that brings together the observations of numerous researchers in museum studies and museology. Thus, this project’s theoretical framing has been refined by elaborating the concept of “regimes of museality, ” derived from French historian François Hartog’s notion “regimes of historicity, ” and the concept of “regimes of authenticity, ” adapted from Quebec historian Lucie K. Morisset. These concepts provide the possibility for determining the modalities, logic, and dynamics of the museological phenomenon. This research is based on a crossover study of French and Quebec institutions that form the relevant population: les Musées de la civilisation (Museums of Civilization) in Quebec City, Canada; le Musée des civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations) in Marseille, France; the Cité internationale de la dentelle et de la mode (International Center for Lace and Fashion) in Calais, France; and the Musée de la mode (Fashion Museum) in Montreal, Canada. A microeconomic examination of the emergence and development of the dress collections at these museums clarifies four cycles at the macroeconomic level of investment of meaning, discursive construction, and elaboration of museum practices specific to vestimentary heritage… Four regimes of museality.

Full textDenna avhandling behandlar historien om botanik som en global samlingsbaserad vetenskap genom att följa paralleller mellan utopiska traditioner och botaniskt samlande från dess början på femtonhundratalet till idag. Olika sorters botaniska samlingar, till exempel trädgårdar, herbarier och klassifikationssystem, har historiskt spelat en central roll i sökandet efter en global eller universell vetenskaplig ordning i växtrikets lokalt rotade och till synes kaotiska mångfald. Det finns historiska kopplingar mellan dessa botaniska samlingar och utopi, som båda även präglas av vad man kan kalla samlandets epistemologi: skapandet av ordning genom avgränsade samlingsutrymmen eller ”icke-platser”. De är manipulationer av tid och rum. Det botaniska samlandets långa historia utmärks av en praktisk kontinuitet som är ovanlig inom naturvetenskapen. Herbariets grundläggande teknik att bevara växter genom att pressa, identifiera och montera dem på pappersark har varit i bruk i nästan fem sekel. Avhandlingen utnyttjar sammanläggningsformatet för att hantera den historiografiska utmaning det innebär att studera en så lång tidsperiod, genom att de ingående artiklarna behandlar skilda tidsepoker och disciplinära perspektiv samtidigt som de alla delar avhandlingens centrala tematik: ordnande genom avgränsade samlingsutrymmen. Avhandlingens struktur är baserad på den muromgärdade fyrdelade trädgården, med kappan som inneslutande fyra artiklar och en epilog. Artiklarna är diakrona analyser av botaniska samlingar: om samlande i Oxford på sextonhundratalet, om pressade växter i böcker som inte formellt utgör del av samlingar, och om digitaliseringen av botaniska samlingar. Dessa sammanhang är alla formade i en värld av böcker, text och publicering – en värld som historiskt har dominerats av män. Epilogen belyser den marginalisering av andra grupper och deras kunskaper om växter som detta har inneburit, genom att förklara avhandlingens omslag, ett lapptäcksbroderi av växtfärgade tyger.

A questão ambiental é um dos temas de maior relevância da atualidade, e a conservação da biodiversidade encontra-se extremamente alinhada à esta realidade. Entretanto, para que os ecossistemas sejam preservados, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de estratégias de sensibilização dos indivíduos, já que é a ação antrópica que origina seus principais impactos. Desta forma, este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar uma proposta prática de conservação da biodiversidade através da educação ambiental que utiliza animais silvestres taxidermizados, realizada na Escola Educacional Técnica – EDUTEC/SATC, em Criciúma, sul de Santa Catarina. Esta ideia foi iniciada por intermédio da oferta de uma oficina científica que desenvolve a técnica de taxidermia (manutenção da epiderme de vertebrados de acordo com as etapas: coleta, limpeza, retirada das vísceras, tratamento químico com bórax/alúmen e/ou formol, secagem e finalização artística) e que utiliza seu acervo em exposições monitoradas, oportunizando conhecimentos ecológicos referentes aos exemplares associados com elementos socioeconômicos e político-culturais. Neste sentido, a oficina de taxidermia confeccionou 34 espécimes de 26 espécies, que foram expostos em 08 eventos e obtendo 11 trabalhos publicados. Contudo, a oficina de taxidermia concretizou relevante coleção zoológica, que possibilitou a construção e a disseminação de saberes e práticas em prol da conservação da biodiversidade e da sustentabilidade.
The environment issue is one of the most important matters nowadays, and the conservation of the biodiversity is totally in consonance with this reality. However, for the ecosystems to be preserved it is necessary to develop strategies that sensitize individuals as it is the anthropic action that causes the main impacts. Thus, this work has the aim to propose a biodiversity conservation practice through environmental education that uses wild animals that have been through taxidermy process which is performed at “Escola Educacional Técnica” – EDUTEC/SATC, in Criciúma, South of Santa Catarina. This idea started through the scientific workshop that develops the taxidermy technique (the skin maintenance of vertebrate animals according to the following steps: collecting, cleaning, removing the entrails, chemical treatment with borax/alum and/or formaldehyde, dryness and final embellishment). They use the collection in monitored exhibitions and provide ecological knowledge of the samples associated with socio-economic and politic-cultural elements. Therefore, the taxidermy workshop has made 34 samples from 26 specimen, that were exposed in 08 events and getting 11 publications. However, the taxidermy workshop made a relevant zoological collection that has provided the construction and the expansion of knowledge and practices because of the need to preserve the biodiversity and for the sustainability.

Full textThe archaeological heritage of Cy-prus is one of the foundations of the territorial and cultural identity of a country that is still divi-ded, yet it remains largely unknown outside the scientific community. However, the development of archaeological excavations since the 19th century has enabled the formation of various collections throughout Europe. These collections preserve and exhibit a scattered archaeological heritage, and its meaning is only partly acces-sible. Passing on this heritage relies on both the preservation and the display of the remains. Based on empirical investigations, the thesis draws up an up-to-date overview of this heritage. Thus, the means used to preserve and enhance it are analyzed, starting from 1960 - the date when Cyprus became an independent state and began implementing its own policy for protecting and enhancing its heritage - to the present day. To this end, a selection of sites and monuments is studied - they are representative of different periods of the island’s history - as well as a nu-mber of permanent exhibitions in Cyprus and in the major museums of Europe. This study invites questioning the history of archaeology and ar-chaeological collections: it suggests comparing preservation and display methods, in order to highlight the current issues at stake. On the ba-sis of this comparative and diachronic analysis, this thesis then proposes to explore the possible perspectives for giving meaning to this shared heritage. Lastly, the matter of the archaeological context is discussed in the final part of the thesis. Archaeological context is revealed as of crucial importance in the transmission of the heritage, promoting new visitor experiences

Considerada a espécie de cervídeo brasileira mais ameaçada de extinção, Mazama bororo, foi recentemente descrita em 1996. Devido a isso, aspectos básicos de sua biologia ainda são desconhecidos. Dessa maneira, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo utilizar DNA extraído de espécimes recentes e de museus para descrever a sua distribuição histórica, investigar a existência de padrões filogeográficos, avaliar a taxonomia da espécie e os erros de identificação no material analisado pertencente aos acervos científicos de museus. Para tanto, foi realizada a extração de DNA de 200 amostras de ossos turbinais obtidos em museus de história natural e 78 destes espécimes foram identificados a partir de iniciadores do gene citocromo b (224bp). O total de 22 espécimes identificados como pertencentes à espécie Mazama bororo permitiu conhecer áreas inéditas da distribuição histórica e, possivelmente atuais, da espécie, como os estados de Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Espírito Santo e Bahia. Além disso, a comparação entre o DNA dos holótipos de Mazama bororo e de Mazama americana jucunda indica que a espécie M. bororo corresponde à subespécie M. americana jucunda, descrita em 1913, demonstrando a necessidade de elevar essa subespécie à categoria de espécie. Análises filogeográficas da espécie demonstram que M. bororo não apresenta uma estruturação populacional histórica e que diversidade genética é baixa quando comparada a outras espécies, um indicativo de que políticas de manutenção e conservação dessa espécie são essenciais a sua permanência. Comparando-se as identificações morfológicas presentes nos museus com as identificações obtidas a partir do marcador molecular utilizado observa-se que a taxa de erro decorrente da classificação baseada em caracteres morfológicos foi de 26%. Entretanto, espera-se que, com o auxílio do DNA de coleções científicas, a seleção de caracteres morfológicos não convergentes para este grupo seja possível, permitindo assim a realização de identificações morfológicas corretamente.
Mazama bororo was recently described in 1996 and is considered the most threatened species of Brazilian deer. Due to this, basic aspects of its biology are still unknown. Thus, this research project aims to use DNA extracted from recent specimens and from natural history collections to review the taxonomy, to describe historical distribution and to investigate the existence of phylogeographic patterns on M. bororo. For this purpose, we extracted DNA from 200 samples of turbinate bones obtained from natural history collections and 78 of these were identified from cytochrome b initiator (224bp). We obtained a total of 22 specimens identified as M. bororo. This result allowed identify unpublished areas on historical and perhaps current distribution of M. bororo in states such as Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Espírito Santo and Bahia. Moreover, the comparison among the DNA from holotype of M. bororo and Mazama americana jucunda indicates that M. bororo corresponds to the subspecies M. americana jucunda, described in 1913, highlighting the need to raise this subspecies to full species status. Our results also demonstrates that M. bororo did not show a genetic structuration of their populations and that their genetic diversity is lower than other species, highlighting the need to increase conservation and environment policy efforts to maintenance of this species. Finally, when we compare the morphological identification available on natural history collections with the identification obtained from molecular markers we found that the error rate resulting from the classification based on morphological characters was 26%. Nevertheless, we expect with the help of DNA from natural history collections will be possible to select non-convergent morphological characters for this group, allowing thus correct morphological identifications.

Full textDenna rapport undersöker om popularitet eller utrotningsgrad har betydelse för hur stor uppmärksamhet en utrotningshotad art får angående dess artbevarande, både inom forskning och bland allmänheten. Under de senaste decennierna har antalet arter som är utrotningshotade ökat drastiskt, som följd av männsklighetens framfart. Detta påverkar både ekosystemen och anses moraliskt tvivelaktigt. För att undersöka området samlades data in från Twitter och Google Scholar genom applikationsprogrammeringsgränssnitt (API) respektive data skrapning (data scraping). Populariteten av en art baserades på antalet förekomster den hade på plattformen. Hur mycket uppmärksamhet artens bevarande fick, bestämdes genom antalet förekomster på plattformen inom specifikt det sammanhanget. De två datamängderna jämfördes, dessutom räknades styrkan på relationen mellan uppmärksamheten inom artbevarande och populariteten ut. Resultatet påvisar att popularitet verkar viktigt för en art för att få uppmärksamhet inom även dess bevarande, medan risken för utrotning av en art inte är oviktigt för mängden uppmärksamhet. Denna insikt kan användas för att främja artbevarande för alla arter, exempelvis genom att aktivt motverka partiskheten. Eller genom att uttnyttja partiskheten för att öka intresset för artbevarande i stort med hjälp av de mest populära arterna, och på sätt öka donationerna och omfördela pengarna till även de mindre populära djuren.

The study of ancient restoration and of its consequences upon objects drive the authors to propose a new approach of conservation. Traditionnal behaviours runing conservation-restoration are replaced by prevention as a global approach more able to analyse the causes of degradation and to ensure effective and durable care of collections

Recently, based on the physics of viscosity, we developed a new technology, which utilizes electric or magnetic fields to change the rheology of complex fluids to reduce the viscosity, while keeping the temperature unchanged. The method is universal and applicable to all complex fluids with suspended particles of nano-meter, sub-micrometer, or micrometer size. Completely different from the traditional viscosity reduction method, raising the temperature, this technology is energy-efficient, as it only requires small amount of energy to aggregate the suspended particles. In this thesis, we will first discuss this new technology in detail, both in theory and practice. Then, we will report applications of our technology to energy science research. Presently, 80% of all energy sources are liquid fuels. The viscosity of liquid fuels plays an important role in energy production and energy conservation. With an electric field, we can reduce the viscosity of asphalt-based crude oil. This is important and useful for heavy crude oil and off-shore crude oil production and transportation. Especially, since there is no practical way to raise the temperature of crude oil inside the deepwater pipelines, our technology may play a key role in future off-shore crude oil production. Electrorehology can also be used to reduce the viscosity of refinery fuels, such as diesel fuel and gasoline. When we apply this technology to fuel injection, the fuel droplets in the fuel atomization become smaller, leading to faster combustion in the engine chambers. As the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines depends on the combustion speed and timing, the fast combustion produces much higher fuel efficiency. Therefore, adding our technology on existing engines improves the engine efficiency significantly. A theoretical model for the engine combustion, which explains how fast combustion improves the engine efficiency, is also presented in the thesis.

Full textIn the current regime of ecological crisis, one generally expects actions and decisions about environmental issues to be enlighten by scientific knowledge. The aim of this thesis is to challenge this view by investigating how ecological knowledge and actions on nature are linked. I propose to study the interweaving between ecological knowledge, collective values and conceptions of nature in documents related to three types of actions (conservation in a nature reserve, environmental impact assessment, and ecological restoration). I lean on a field study where these actions are embodied, the plain of Crau (Bouches-du-Rhône, France). First, I examine how different types of ecological knowledge are translated in (and are influenced in return by) specific actions. I show that, in addition to the practical constraints of any action, this mutual relation is shaped by scientific cultural dynamics, as well as historical trajectories of these knowledges and actions. Then, I explain how the need to guarantee both credibility and legitimacy create an inherent tension in environmental actions. Finally, I explore how knowledge is based on preconceptions about our relationships with nature, and lead to specific ways of acting. From these insights, I suggest some trails to know and act differently with nature in the context of current ecological issues
