Full textGiambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) is one of the most famous printers of the western world and, for Italy, the last representative of the "Ancien Régime Typography" at the same time as the first "modern". It has indeed been able to make his own characters while exercising together printing and book trade. After him, the industrialization of the book begins: the activities he met in his company, according to tradition dating back to the birth of printing, divided without return, while print production is now addressed to both larger markets and different and wider audiences. Mass prints were accompanied by a decline in quality and of greater banality of style. With Angelo Pezzana, director of the Library of Parma in the nineteenth century, the tools used by Bodoni for making type, but also its archives and a complete collection of volumes produced by his typography, have been preserved until today. It is therefore possible to reconstruct Bodoni of life, with particular emphasis on its relations with the courts of Europe and the market for bibliophile, on the conditions and labor practices in the foundry of characters and in printing, and the genesis of the most famous works. His fortune follow his death and continues until today, where Bodoni characters are used in graphics and for publications and magazines, as well as for fashion brands. They are always, symbols of elegance, simplicity, and at the same time of the luxury and of the Italian style

Full textLincoln County, Arkansas, is a small county in the southeastern sector of Arkansas that lacks a museum dedicated to its history. With Lincoln County lacking the funds to purchase/build a physical space that is on-par with current museum standards, a museum building is an impossibility at this point. Yet, the older generations that are full of knowledge about the history of the county are fading away. To preserve past and future history, a new spin on a museum had to be accomplished. The spin was creating a digital museum. This study goes in-depth on the creation of a digital database and museum for Lincoln County using Omeka.net and WordPress.com according to Dublin Core and museum standards. The websites showcase a broad and general history of Lincoln County that will hopefully become a foundation for the creation of a physical museum.

By the 1920s, ideas about the function and appearance of the American art museum were shifting such that they no longer were perceived to be merely storehouses of art. Rather, they were meant to fill a present democratic need of reaching out to the public and actively helping to cultivate the tastes and knowledge of a desired culturally literate citizen. As a result of debates about the museum's mission, audience, and design, in 1931 the Philadelphia Museum of Art opened the first branch museum in the nation on 69th Street in the suburb of Upper Darby in an effort to improve the relationship between the museum and the community. With sponsorship by its parent institution and financing by the Carnegie Corporation of New York City, the two organizations hoped to determine, over a five-year period, whether branch museums, like branch libraries, would be equally successful and valuable in reaching out to the public, both physically and intellectually. The new Sixty-ninth Street Branch Museum was to serve as a valuable mechanism for civic education by encouraging citizens to think constructively about art and for the development of aesthetic satisfaction, but more importantly it was to be a catalyst for social change by integrating the visual arts into the daily life of the community. In this thesis I will demonstrate that, although the first branch museum was only open for a year and a half, it nonetheless succeeded in shaping the way people thought about art and how museums were meant to function as democratic institutions in American society.

Full textBeginning in 1879, local history museums in Ontario developed largely from the energies of local historical societies bent on collecting the past. While science museums used taxonomy and classification to mirror the natural state of the world, history museums had no equivalent framework for organizing collections as real-world referents. Often organized without apparent design, by the early 20th century a deductive method was used to categorize and display history collections into functional groups based on manufacture and use.
By the mid-twentieth century an inductive approach for interpreting collections in exhibits was promoted to make these objects more meaningful and interesting to museum visitors, and to justify their collection. This approach relied on the recontextualization of the object through two methods: text-based, narrative exhibits; and verisimilitude, the recreation of the historical environment in which the artifact would have been originally used. These exhibit practices became part of the syllabus of history museum work as it professionalized during the mid-twentieth century, almost a full century after the science museum. In Ontario, recontextualizing artifacts eventually dominated the process of recreating the past at museums. Objects were consigned to placement within textual storylines in order to impart accurate meaning. At its most elaborate, artifacts were recontextualized into houses, and buildings into villages, wherein the public could fully immerse themselves in a tableau of the past. Throughout this process, the dynamic of recontextualization to enhance visitor experience subtlety shifted the historical artifact from its previous position in the museum as an autonomous relic of the past, to one subordinate to context.
Although presented as absolute, the narratives and reconstructions formed by these collecting and exhibiting practices were contingent on a multitude of shifting factors, such as accepted museum practice, physical, economic and human resources available to the museum operation, and prevailing beliefs about the past and community identity. This thesis exposes the wider field of museum practice in Ontario community history museums over a century while the case study of Doon Pioneer Village shows in detail the conditional qualities of historical reconstruction in museum exhibits and historical restoration.

The Philadelphia Public History Truck is a nearly two-year-old mobile museum project which creates interdisciplinary exhibitions about the history of Philadelphia neighborhoods with those who live, work, and play within the places and spaces of the city. Since I founded the project in 2013, I have navigated partnerships with both grassroots organizations and larger institutions and faced a wide-ranging gamut of experiences worthy of examination by public historians concerned with power and production of history as well as practice-based reflexivity. The first half of this thesis documents my key reflections of the first eighteen months of work and serves as a primary source on the project. This paper also places History Truck into a long historiography of both public history and mobility in the United States of America to explain the emergence of what I am calling the New Mobile History, an emerging form of practice in which community members and public historians work together from the onset of project development using ephemerality and movement as a tool for creativity and civic-driven history making. By analyzing oral history interviews with Cynthia Little and Michael Frisch, I argue firstly that Philadelphia was the birthplace of this New Mobile History. Secondly, I posit that for this New Mobile History to continue evolving, public historians must balance digital work and relationship-based process to create exhibitions which directly serve communities of memory. Lastly, I consider one possible future for History Truck, including its transformation from project to nonprofit organization manned by post-M.A. fellows who have the ability to work passionately on city streets and with new media.

As the world enters the centennial of World War I, interest in this war is reviving. Books, television shows, and movies are bringing the war into popular culture. Now that all the participants of the war have passed away a change is occurring in in American memory. The transition from living to non-living memory is clearly visible in museums, one of the main ways history is communicated to the public. Four museums are studied in this paper. Two exhibits built in the 1990s are in the 1st Infantry Division Museum at Fort Riley, Kansas, and the Chemical Corps Museum in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The other two exhibits are newer and are the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Missouri and the Cantigny 1st Infantry Division Museum in Wheaton, Illinois. Findings reveal that exhibits become more inclusive over time to civilian bodies, wounded bodies, and the specific image of “Americans killing Germans bodies.” However, even though there is change some things are turning into myths. The icon of the American soldier as a healthy and strong man willing to sacrifice his life for the country is still a major theme throughout all the exhibits. Finally, there are several myths that America has adopted from its allies. The icons of the bandages over the eyes from the chemical attacks and the horrors of the trenches are borrowed, to a certain extent, from America’s allies. The Americans were only in the war for a limited time and borrowed cultural memories to supplement their own. The examination of the four museums is important because this transition will happen again and soon. Museums must be conscious of the changes occurring during this transition in order to confront the challenges.

Full textHistoric house museums (HHMs) are contradictory spaces, private places made public. They (often) combine the real with the reproduction. Drawing from object reverence, taxonomy, and tableaux over a century and a half of practice, the American HHM arrives in the present as a Frankenstein's monster of nostalgia.
Chamounix Mansion has been a youth hostel since 1964. It has also been a historic house museum, though when it became one and when—if—it ever stopped being one is an open question. Chamounix is a space where the past, present, and future all share space, as guests move through historic spaces, have conversations about anything or nothing at all, and plan their next day, their next destination, their next major life move. It is a place that seems fertile for meaning-making. It also provides a fascinating case study of what HHMs have been and what they might become.
The Friends of Chamounix Mansion employed the methods of other HHMs as it tried to achieve recognition as an HHM in the 1960s, but by the 1980s, they began claiming the hostel’s usage as another form of authenticity.
As HHMs face a variety of challenges today, and seek to make meaning with visitors and neighbors alike, the example of Chamounix Mansion offers a case study of how embracing usage might offer new directions for meaning-making.

This researcher has explored the vault of the National Museum of History (NMH) into a collection of 187 pieces of exhibited posters displayed between a range period of 1996 and 2002. She then, after photocopying, rearranging, and documenting the files, categorizes them, by K. J. (Kawakita Jiro) method, into six groups, namely, of painting, housewares, photography, architecture & sculpture, extended education, and floristry. She also classifies and explains them by graphics, wishfully, for the reference of later studies. All through the chapters, the researcher, with the aid of literature reviews or of the interviews with former poster designers of the NMH and with contemporary vision communications professionals, comes to realize the impacts those old poster-related designing skills, procedures, circumstances, and shifting times had on the processes, elements, and styles of poster designing. And she also hopes, by analyzing the old posters of the NMH, the viewers will be able to develop some applicable and characteristic personal styles for poster designing. Furthermore, through the use of questionnaires and cross analysis, she hopes, they will also be able to understand the extent to which the NMH posters and the populace have been interrelated with one another. Then, the result of this study reveals that the NMH visitors have been mostly females, the majority of whom comes from the school, the military, and the public sector, which also includes the veterans. Judging by their motivations, it shows that the “personal interests” category tops the rank of the investigation on the whole, with the “relaxation & amusement” category running up, and which means a visit of the NMH has gradually become one of the options the general public will take as a way of both relaxing and amusing themselves. On the other hand, it also turns out that the percentage of the NMH visitors receiving the information about the NMH exhibitions through the posters runs the highest, which reaffirms the significance of posters as a way of informing the general public of the exhibitions. At the same time, with its increasing popularity and convenience, the Internet has caught up with other media in terms of the effective and efficient advertisements. Additionally, when asked how they feel greatly impressed with the NMH posters, the interviewees pick up the “clear & accurate literacy”, the “attractive illustration”, or the “radiant coloring” categories, etc. as their responses, and that signifies plain and simple style of diction with clear and forceful messages is prerequisite with a successful poster. Finally, this study also explores the marketing strategies which most the museums have recently employed to cope with the trendy needs for their individual future developments, and through which they hope to achieve their goals of effective and efficient advertising communicatively with appealing content of clearer and more accurate literacy. Accordingly, this study suggests as follows: (1) the establishing of an institutional image: Poster designers, besides spreading the information about the museum exhibitions to the public, also work on the establishing of an ”image” for the museums, thus creating a sense of the public ”loyalty” to their particular favorite museums. This is because any institution, striving to acquire an outstanding position among numerous both public and private historical or art museums, has first to own a personality. To achieve this, it has to seek an identity, without which the institution is in no position to advertise itself. (2) the enhancing of a functional poster: Poster designers, faced with the problem of the disposable quality of a poster, integrate such functions as that of a calendar and that of a poster into one, thus enhancing the functions of their design and thereby the public interests in preserving it. By collecting such particular posters, the museum- goers will furthermore develop their sense of identity and unity with the museum. (3) the selecting of a hallmark: The NHM, acknowledging the limitations on the poster locales, negotiate with or rent a high-rise site in the neighborhood to encourage better advertising effect with stronger visual appeals, and also to establish a new hallmark to guide the museum-goers to their ultimate goal. By doing this, the NHM better informs and reminds those pilgrims of its exhibitions for the primary purpose, and, in the meantime, initiates and nurtures the potential art lovers with multiple visual enjoyments. And (4) the improving of a storage facility: The NHM, when considering on its future expansion project, take the former posters into as much account as other artistic heritages and preserve them more securely and more systematically, as in the case of an X-type poster showcase which allows its contents with a more spacious storage and thus benefits the potential researchers with more sound and concrete references, and with the aid of which the contents enrich themselves with multiple information other than literary descriptions, to make the viewers recognize the historical legacy of the NHM exhibitions.
