Building
Bridges between communities through Conservation, Anthropology and Natural
Sciences
This presentation will discuss conservation work
that engages a range of cultural groups from around the world with collections
of natural history research objects. The paper compares and contrasts the
influence of conservation and exhibition on these groups and the bridges that
are built through an understanding of the object and its values to a specific
community. The paper finally contrasts the differing expectations around
the world of cultures to Natural Science Collections and how interaction with
different communities has changed our conservation practice.
