摘要

摘要本文利用史密森学会策展人与20世纪前十年在菲律宾服役的陆军外科医生埃德加·亚历山大·米恩斯之间的通信,探讨自然史收藏中关于损失的观点。在这些藏品丰富的表象之下,隐藏着对损失的持续关注,不仅是标本因破坏和滑动而损失,还包括数据的损失,有时还包括获取和描述新材料的机会的损失。我探索了策展人在历史上看待损失的方式,也探索了今天将自然历史标本和田野书籍重新连接起来,为修复其中的一些损失和更全面地了解收藏的历史和文化背景提供可能性的方式。

More than birds: Loss and reconnection at the National Museum of Natural History
ABSTRACT This essay draws on correspondence between Smithsonian Institution curators and Edgar Alexander Mearns, an army surgeon who served in the Philippines during the first decade of the twentieth century, in order to explore ideas about loss in natural history collections. Beneath the appearance of abundance in these collections lies a constant concern with loss, not simply with the loss of specimens to spoil and slippage, but also with the loss of data and sometimes the loss of opportunities to acquire and describe new material. I explore the ways curators considered loss historically but also the ways that reconnecting natural history specimens and field books today offer possibilities for repairing some of these losses and more fully understanding the historical and cultural context of collection.
