Millions of items are held in museum collections around the world but many museums have very few visitors to their stored collections. These stored objects are certainly not neglected by their professional custodians, and they are loved with a great intensity by some curators and enthusiasts. However, for all but a tiny proportion of the population they have little or no personal meaning. This book goes beyond strategic discussions of access to stores, information enhancement, or collections rationalization and focuses on the emotional potential of these objects.
The authors explore how “care” for objects has varied over time and consider who cares for objects that are generally considered to be unsuitable for display and why they care. They also consider how inter-generational and inter-disciplinary dialogue can enhance or engender engagement with "unloved" collections and offer strategies and reflection on interpreting stored collections. This book will be essential reading for scholars, students, and professionals in museums, especially those concerned with curation and collections.

Описание: In 1940 Andy Bertellotti, with his pregnant wife Kathy and their daughter A da, is running their profitable fish-and-chip shop in Scotland. When Mussolini joins Hitler and plunges Italy into the world war, Churchill proclaims "Collar the lot," thus condemning resident Italians in Great Britain to a life behind barriers and barbed wire. A policeman who has always been their friend arrests the Bertellottis and sends them to internment, branded as "enemy aliens" and cut off from friends and family. Andy's brother Tommy and their sister Bruna are in Italy-fleeing from the Fascist army and Nazi marauders. Separated, they witness hellish events, including a massacre at a church service. Woven among the threads of great peril and deprivation, terror and indignities, gleam stories of everyday life with its touching moments, small celebrations, and poignant childhood games. Anna Fiorina, born in internment, shows the reader how brave survivors-despite everything-can arise from the ashes and austerity of war with hearts full of forgiveness and steadfast love.
