Museum enthusiast and bibliophile. Passionate about learning and sharing the history of Manitoba.
I agree to all of the above! But...in my experience a specimen in a collection of any museum can be anything physical but it can also be the physical in the sense of an audio or video clip showing a specimen in a new light.
What do you think of first when you think of a museum specimen? A taxidermy bison? A pinned butterfly? The skeleton of an entire pliosaur? A museum could answer with: study skin, skeleton, taxidermy mount, fur/pelt, wet specimen, thin section, microfossil, slab, herbarium specimen, dried, pinned, in silicone, nest, egg . . . the list goes on! Preservation in natural history collections takes many forms, and all have their benefits in different fields.

Take some time to explore American Association for State and Local History (AASLH)'s Understanding Public Memory Resource Kit. The kit includes AASLH resources, as well as outside memory projects, guides to monuments and memorials, webinars, and readings, to introduce perspectives on the future of monuments, contextualize the formation and dynamics of public memory, and inform how the public history field should approach, contextualize, engage, and grapple with contested monuments on a national and local level.

Just came across this lovely 2023 article (https://lnkd.in/gb7GpgK7) by Louise Curham, addressing building a participatory local archive in Kambah as a way of strengthening local residents' sense of connection to place and community. When considering and valuing archives and historical collections, we often emphasise the exotic and ancient (or at least elderly), without pausing to reflect that what we consider banal or ubiquitous now will surprisingly quickly transmute into history, and be potentially fascinating to others - and it may therefore be worth finding space to keep some record of it. But living archives can do so much more than record events - they invite us to engage directly with history, place and community, and allow for shared and divergent narratives to be captured and represented.
