Abstract

This paper investigates the importance of meteorites as a scientific heritage. While the significance of meteorites as natural heritage is relatively easy to establish, the implication of their meaning as scientific heritage may be more difficult to define. With this aim in mind, in this paper, we present the catalogue standards for meteorite specimens, preserved either in natural history museums or in private collections, proposed by the Italian Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione–ICCD (Central Institute for Catalogue and Documentation). This work outlines the structure of the catalogue card that describes the meteorite specimen along with other information related to the sample (e.g., archival documentation on collectors and traders, museum catalogues and inventories, general bibliography). This essay concludes discussing the cataloguing, according to ICCD standards, of two Renazzo meteorite specimens, which fell in the eponymous Italian village in 1824 and are now preserved at the Natural History Museum of the University of Firenze.

陨石作为科学遗产

本文探讨了陨石作为科学遗产的重要性。虽然陨石作为自然遗产的意义相对容易确定，但其作为科学遗产的含义可能更难定义。考虑到这一目标，在本文中，我们提出了由意大利中央目录研究所（中央目录和文献研究所）提出的陨石标本目录标准，这些陨石标本保存在自然历史博物馆或私人收藏中。这项工作概述了描述陨石样本的目录卡的结构，以及与样本相关的其他信息（例如，关于收藏家和贸易商的档案文件、博物馆目录和库存、一般参考书目）。本文最后讨论了根据ICCD标准对两个Renazzo陨石标本进行编目的问题，这两个陨石标本于1824年落入同名的意大利村庄，目前保存在佛罗伦萨大学自然历史博物馆。

期刊介绍： Conservar Património is a journal, published three times a year, that intends to create a space for the diffusion of conservator-restorers’ studies and activities. However, at a time when Conservation-Restoration pretends to develop further through collaboration with other areas of knowledge, such as History of Art, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other related disciplines from the fields of the natural and social sciences, the journal also receives contributions from any other provenance as long as directed towards the multiple dimensions of the works that integrate our Cultural Heritage. Theoretical issues on the conservation activity may also be submitted.
