Overcoming Obstacles to Preventive Conservation Projects in Italy: With a Case Study of the Savoy Carriage Collection of the Presidency of the Republic     

Matteo Rossi Doria  Stefan Michalski 《文物保护研究》2018,63(5):222-229

ABSTRACT

Working on preventive conservation in Italy is difficult but not impossible. After small successes and setbacks convincing museums to adopt elements of preventive conservation in the 1990s, the first author (Rossi Doria) was contracted for 15 years to preserve the historic carriages and associated objects of the Presidency of the Republic of Italy. This required patience to overcome or circumvent obstacles such as an inflexible bureaucracy and the absence of any formal recognition of preventive conservation within the educational and contractual systems for heritage conservation. The key factors in his success were the support of the curators, the financial and planning autonomy of the Presidency, and the obvious need for conservation and preservation of these elegant and complex objects. The program began in 2001 with the recovery of the forgotten collection from inappropriate storage in several locations. The entire collection was surveyed and recorded, not only the carriages but also thousands of harnesses, saddles, clothing, fabrics, weapons and memorabilia. Multiple preventive and interventive actions were undertaken, such as pest eradication for all sensitive materials, environmental surveys, and everyday maintenance, as well as complex treatments for the ornate carriages. Analysis by country of published articles on preventive conservation and of IIC membership both confirm that the topic is not as well established in Italy as in many other countries. Some reasons and solutions are proposed.  相似文献   

From Archive,to Access,to Experience––Historical Documents as a Basis for Immersive Experiences

Libraries have been the key to preserving culture and historic legacy for centuries. One such treasure cataloged in The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) Libraries is a collection of over 33,000 Sanborn? Fire Insurance Maps. Originally kept safe in metal drawers, the library has embarked on a journey to digitize this abundance of information, combine it with other media such as photographs, and make it accessible through a web interface. Inspired by these efforts, we accessed this information and took it to the next level. Using state of the art 3D modeling and immersive technologies, we created a historic 3D model and immersive experiences of Penn State, exemplarily for the 1922 campus. The resulting experiences can be accessed through the web but also through head mounted displays (HMDs) and mobile phones in combination with VR viewers such as the Google Cardboard. Additionally, they can be used anywhere in the world or on the campus itself as a way to enable remote and in situ experiences and learning. Immersive experiences let us connect to the past, the present and the future, and as such offer value to digital cultural heritage efforts.  相似文献   

The IR Has Two Faces: Positioning Institutional Repositories for Success     

John Novak  Annette Day 《New Review of Academic Librarianship》2018,24(2):157-174

This article describes the ongoing efforts at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Libraries to evolve the role of the institutional repository (IR) and to effectively position it within the context of the Libraries’ collections, research support, and scholarly communication services. A major component of this process is re-examining the fundamental aims of the IR and aligning it to the Libraries and the campus strategic goals. The authors situate UNLV Libraries’ experience within the context of the current literature to provide background and reasoning for our decision to pursue two, at times conflicting, aims for the IR: one for scholarly communication and another for research administration.  相似文献   

Expanding opportunities to learn to support inclusive education through drama‐enhanced literacy practices          下载免费PDF全文

Sultan Kilinc  Kathleen Farrand  Kathryn Chapman  Michael Kelley  Jenny Millinger  Korbi Adams 《British Journal of Special Education》2017,44(4):431-447

This study examines how the Early Years Educators at Play (EYEPlay) professional development (PD) programme supported inclusive learning settings for all children, including English language learners and students with disabilities. The EYEPlay PD model is a year‐long programme that integrates drama strategies into literacy practices within real‐classroom contexts. Inclusive education refers to ensuring equal opportunities to access and participation in learning activities for all students. Cultural‐historical activity theory was used to understand and unpack the drama practices. Twelve semi‐structured focus group interviews were conducted with 19 preschool teachers. The data were analysed via constant‐comparative and interpretive methods. The study findings showed that EYEPlay PD practices enhanced inclusive learning settings for diverse groups of students by increasing access and expanding opportunities to learn, and supporting a positive learning environment.  相似文献   

4-16世纪中国史家对于社会结构与历史演进的理解     

向燕南 《廊坊师范学院学报》2011,27(5):45-49

历史认识中人本思想提升的一个理论结果,是史学家、思想家对于包括社会结构与历史演进等理论的思考获得深入。古代中国史学家、思想家对于社会结构与历史演进的理论思考,与早熟、发达的国家制度有关,与古代中国特有的史官制度及其文化形态、史学文化传统也有密切的关系。从公元4世纪到16世纪这1000多年观念的发展来看,史家对于社会结构的认识,大致延续了《史记》、《汉书》的传统,体现了大体一致的对社会结构的认识,即呈天、地、人、政治、经济、刑法、军事、政治制度、选官制度、文化的结构顺序。随着社会的发展,中国的史学家、思想家对于社会结构及其历史演进的理解亦不断深化,尤其是对社会经济及其历史意义的认识更是日益丰富。  相似文献

鲁滨孙《新史学》探析     

倪学新 《福建师大福清分校学报》2002,(1):6-10

《新史学》是美国历史学家鲁滨孙的代表作,虽为历年论文和演说的汇编,却集中反映了新史学观的逻辑思路,其中不乏闪光之处：第一,敏于感受时代变化的挑战,持发展的史学观;第二,善于从其他学科中接受启迪,促进史学地新,第三,重视史学与现实的联系,强调发挥史学的社会功用。但也存在一些明显的缺陷：第一,只承认量变,而否认质变,陷入庸俗进化论的泥潭,第二,否认史学的科学性。  相似文献   

高校大合并的历史观照     

王建华 《教育与现代化》2006,(1):70-75

高校大合并已基本结束,有关的理论探讨也已冷却。但这并不意味着有关的理论思考已失去价值。相反,当“尘埃落定”之后,也许更能发现隐藏在改革背后的更深层的东西。笔者认为,此次高校大合并是中国高等教育激进改革的产物,同时认为在中国高等教育从外烁到内生的过程中,采用激进改革的方式往往是弊大于利的。  相似文献   

卢卡奇：从自然辩证法到历史辩证法     

杨国斌 《河南师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2005,32(3):11-14

在对德国古典哲学的批判研究中，通过对历史概念的重新阐释，借助于“总体性”范畴，卢卡奇从恩格斯的自然辩证法走向总体性历史辩证法。他的早期历史辩证法思想对马克思主义哲学“历史”重建有重要的贡献，同时也具有一定的历史局限性。  相似文献
