Knowledge Preservation and Curation
In order to achieve its full value, knowledge must flow and be continuously used.Knowledge use, reuse, and repurposing has been a challenge discussed in knowledge sciences literature for over three decades.Based on a review of research and conversations with business stakeholders, the authors investigate and offer solutions to two key challenges - preserving and curating knowledge. Knowledge Preservation and Curation focusses on business value and processes rather than traditional legal and financial requirements, and further, explores preservation and curation in known and unknown business futures.Real-world examples from cutting-edge private and public sector organizations are included, and give unique insight into the world of knowledge management.

Photography, Curation, Criticism : An Anthology
This unique collection brings together the work of photography writer, curator, and lecturer, Liz Wells, reflecting on key themes of landscape, place, nationhood, and environmental concerns.A newly written introductory chapter contextualizes the collection.This is followed by an ‘in conversation’ with Martha Langford, Concordia University, Montreal, that brings together two leading figures in the field to respond to Wells’ thought and the themes that emerge in her writings.The essays included in this anthology draw on work from a variety of sources including artists’ photobooks, exhibition catalogues, magazines, academic books, and journals.Seventeen previously published articles, organized thematically in relation to Curation and Residency, Phenomena, Place, and Critical Reflections, demonstrate Wells’ critical and curatorial approach to research through photographic practices, reflecting a core view of art (at its best) operating to convey the implications of what is being explored and to evoke responses that are simultaneously sensory and intellectual.This collection will be essential reading for students and scholars of photography, visual culture, and art history, especially those examining landscape and environmental photography.

Adivasi Art and Activism : Curation in a Nationalist Age
The uneasy alliance of tribal art and the museum movementAs India consolidates an aggressive model of economic development, indigenous tribal people known as adivasis continue to be overrepresented among the country’s poor.Adivasis make up more than eight hundred communities in India, with a total population of more than a hundred million people who speak more than three hundred different languages.Although their historical presence is acknowledged by the state and they are lauded as a part of India’s ethnic identity today, their poverty has been compounded by the suppression of their cultural heritage and lifestyle. In Adivasi Art and Activism, Alice Tilche draws on anthropological fieldwork conducted in rural western India to chart changes in adivasi aesthetics, home life, attire, food, and ideas of religiosity that have emerged from negotiation with the homogenizing forces of Hinduization, development, and globalization in the twenty-first century.She documents curatorial projects located not only in museums and art institutions, but in the realms of the home, the body, and the landscape.Adivasi Art and Activism raises vital questions about preservation and curation of indigenous material and provides an astute critique of the aesthetics and politics of Hindu nationalism.

The Curation and Care of Museum Collections
Museum curators enter the profession with a specialist subject qualification and yet at some point in their career, many curators find themselves in charge of a range of collections outside of their expert knowledge.Interpreting, curating and caring for mixed collections demands of curators a wide range of knowledge and understanding.The Curation and Care of Museum Collections is designed to give curators the fundamental information and confidence they need to manage and care for all of the collections within their responsibility, regardless of their previous training and experience.Comprising two sections – Museum Collections, and Collection Development and Care – the chapters cover archaeology, art, history, military and natural sciences collections, as well as heritage properties.Every chapter in the book is focused on one type of collection, but all chapters in the collection management section contain advice on topics such as organisational philosophy, documentation, legal issues and materials in order to provide a useful and comprehensive guide to managing collections.The collection care section is structured in the same way, considering the issues of storage; display; handling; moving; packing; housekeeping; health and safety; emergency preparedness; and pest, pollution, environmental, light and vibration management. The contributors to this book are experienced museum professionals, each with their own specialism and a deep understanding of what it means to work in the context of mixed collections.Providing a highly practical guide, The Curation and Care of Museum Collections is essential reading for curators working in all types of museums, galleries and heritage sites, and for students of museology courses around the world.

Documenting Performance : The Context and Processes of Digital Curation and Archiving
Performance in the digital age has undergone a radical shift in which a once ephemeral art form can now be relived, replayed and repeated.Until now, much scholarship has been devoted to the nature of live performance in the digital age; Documenting Performance is the first book to provide a collection of key writings about the process of documenting performance, focused not on questions of liveness or the artistic qualities of documents, but rather on the professional approaches to recovering, preserving and disseminating knowledge of live performance. Through its four-part structure, the volume introduces readers to important writings by international practitioners and scholars on:* the contemporary context for documenting performance* processes of documenting performance* documenting bodies in motion* documenting to createIn each, chapters examine the ways performance is documented and the issues arising out of the process of documenting performance.While theorists have argued that performance becomes something else whenever it is documented, the writings reveal how the documents themselves cannot be regarded simply as incomplete remains from live events.The methods for preserving and managing them over time, ensuring easy access of such materials in systematic archives and collections, requires professional attention in its own right.Through the process of documenting performance, artists acquire a different perspective on their own work, audiences can recall specific images and sounds for works they have witnessed in person, and others who did not see the original work can trace the memories of particular events, or use them to gain an understanding of something that would otherwise remain unknown to them and their peers.
