Abstract:

The first museum to be set up in India in 1814 by the British Orientalists underwent a significant change when the Government of India took it over in 1858. The change was shaped by the experience of the great Indian uprising of 1857 to which, most importantly, the ordinary people (artisans, peasants, the unemployed etc.) rallied. Though the Raj succeeded eventually in suppressing the Revolt, its officials were deeply disturbed by the popular uprising and its effects. Policies were designed thereafter with these anxieties in mind—notably the one for running the museum in Calcutta. The authorit

Abstract:

The article examines the circumstances and history of delivery to Russia of ethnographic collections by the First Russian Expedition to Ceylon and India (1914-18). These items were stored at Russian Tea Firm Gubkin Co warehouses in Colombo, Government Museum (Madras) and Indian Museum (Calcutta), at the State Far Eastern University (Vladivostok) until 1925. The authors consider political conditions and ways of protection of the Academy of Sciences property in the 1920s. The Indian collections in 1921-24 became the pretext for the working out a model of interaction between the young Soviet stat

Abstract:

The case of Indian meteorite collections shows how, during the production of science, knowledge-making institutions such as museums were sometimes strongly linked with coercive institutions such as the police. If geological collecting in India in the Company period was mainly geared towards satisfying the demands of metropolitan science, the period after the 1850s saw a dramatic shift in the nature of collecting and the practice of colonial science, with the emergence of public museums in India. These colonial museums, represented by the Indian Museum, Calcutta, began to compete with the Briti

Wallich (1828–1849) published the work entitled “A numerical list of dried specimens of plants, in the East India Company’s Museum collected under the superintendence of Dr. Wallich of the Company’s botanic garden at Calcutta.” This work was lithographed from a manuscript written by N. Wallich and G. Bentham and has been often cited as “Wallich’s Catalogue.” This catalogue includes more than 8600 names, but lacks descriptions or references to the descriptions. As such, most of the names listed are nomina nuda and not validly published names (see Art. 38.2 Ex.1 of ICN, McNeill & al. 2012).

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: This article explores the evolution of panoramas (360° canvases) and dioramas (moving pictures) of India exhibited in London between 1830 and 1851. Beginning with Robert Burford’s 1830 panorama of Calcutta and moving chronologically through a number of case studies, it charts how ambulatory and moving pictures increasingly embraced the aesthetic and somatic limitations and possibilities of their painted landscape format. In contrast with texts and museum displays presenting colonial information about South Asia, panoramas and dioramas processed colonial information provided by those

Abstract:

The exhibition of decorative and industrial arts that was held in Jaipur in 1883 under the patronage of Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II (1880–1922) brought together the work of artists and craftsmen from many regions of India, but gave special treatment to the neighbouring states of Rajasthan, and to the pupils of Jaipur's own recently established School of Art. It led to the establishment of a permanent museum of industrial arts in Jaipur, which still exists and continues to hold many of the original exhibits.

Abstract:

Between 1836 and 1840, Jan Vilém Helfer collected thousands of insects, birds and plants in Burma, the Andaman Islands and the Mergui Archipelago, with many first records from these regions. His botanical specimens are preserved in Prague, Kew, Calcutta and many other herbaria. Yet no account has been published of his itinerary, and the volume of his collections has not previously been appreciated. We bring together the available data on Helfer, reconstruct his itinerary and the two routes by which his plants were distributed, and explain the different numbering systems used on the labels of H

Abstract:

The genus Phycomenes was recently described by Bruce (2008)) for a small sea-grass inhabiting shrimp, Phycomenes zostericola Bruce, 2008, from south-east Queensland, Australia. The close similarity of this species to Periclimenes indicus (Kemp 1915) was noted. Subsequently specimens of Kemp’s species from the type locality, Chilka Lake, Orissa, India, were examined and the most characteristic features of the genus Phycomenes were found to be present, i.e., a transverse triangular median process on the fourth thoracic sternite and the greatly reduced size of the second pereiopods in comparison

Abstract:

Abstract The relationship between museums and the British Empire was constant and varied. Important objects were acquired by trade, exploration, and—more rarely—by outright battle throughout the areas in which Britain had economic and political interests. In India itself museums were established as early as the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, founded in 1784, and they proliferated throughout the nineteenth century. While the history of museums in the empire—which ran parallel to developments in England but also diverged in important ways—is outside the scope of this volume, the uncertain fate of

Abstract Before approaching the specificities of cataloguing Arabic, Persian, and Indic literatures in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England, the chapter introduces readers to early modern theories and practices of cataloguing. It then offers a detailed account of the piecemeal establishment of ‘Oriental’ collections at the Bodleian Library up to the acquisition of the Ouseley collection at the end of the eighteenth century. The Bodleian was by far the major centre for the study of Islamicate literary traditions in England at the time, including first Semitic and then Persian manuscripts
