Our acclaimed and innovative 2009 Summer Institute broke new ground on how to approach history through intense study of artefacts by bringing together international experts and participants from diverse backgrounds. This years Summer Institute will use the same formula to expose you to a unique experience and change the way you appreciate objects and material culture.
The READING ARTIFACTS SUMMER INSTITUTE is for:
• Graduate Students
• Post-docs
• Faculty interested in teaching history through artifacts
• History and Museum professionals looking to expand their research methods
Participants will:
• investigate artifacts, trade literature and photographic collections as resources for research, teaching, and the public presentation of history
• work with leading collection scholars in a national museum setting to explore material culture methodologies and approaches
• use artifacts as the centre of discussion and hands-on activities
• immerse themselves in a material culture perspective of the technological past
• learn the basics of conservation, cataloguing and developing collections in local environments – a growing and essential resource for history studies.
