Abstract

Abstract As a result of almost 200 years of scientific activity and the enactment of different legal mandates, including specific requirements stipulated by the National Monuments Act of 1970, the collections of the Chilean National Museum of Natural History (MNHN, founded in 1830) have grown considerably since the museum's creation. However, it has been impossible to fulfill optimal preventive conservation requirements in the current building, which dates to 1875. After the problem was identified, a collection management project was implemented: one that included setting up off-site storage to house the existing collections at MNHN and include room for growth. The challenge was to secure funding for an off-site building that would fit the purpose; meanwhile, the collections needed to be prepared for the move. The project was carried out over 10 years, between 2009 and 2019, and succeeded in improving a significant percentage of the total collection. This article discusses this unique national project as a case study, describing the processes carried out to complete it, its challenges, and the main lessons learned.

2009-2019年国家自然历史博物馆（智利圣地亚哥）的场外藏品储存项目

摘要经过近200年的科学活动和不同法律授权的颁布，包括1970年《国家古迹法》规定的具体要求，智利国家自然历史博物馆（MNHN，成立于1830年）的藏品自博物馆成立以来大幅增长。然而，目前的建筑建于1875年，无法满足最佳的预防性保护要求。在发现问题后，实施了一个藏品管理项目：其中包括建立场外仓库，以存放MNHN的现有藏品，并留出增长空间。面临的挑战是确保为一座符合目的的场外建筑提供资金；与此同时，藏品需要为搬迁做好准备。该项目在2009年至2019年间进行了10多年，成功地提高了总收藏量的很大比例。本文以案例研究的形式讨论了这一独特的国家项目，描述了完成该项目的过程、挑战和主要经验教训。
