Lehr- und Schausammlungen im Wandel: Archive, Displays, Objekte

How can public and university collections be preserved and exhibited in the future? Currently, the presentation of such collections is often determined by changes in those institutions. The history of disciplines and institutions involved is as important as the focus of science on individual objects when it comes to issues of provenance and exhibiting those things.
The authors address the challenges and future of university collections. In addition to reflecting on the integration of objects in research and teaching, questions of the presentation of heterogeneous collections and uncertainties regarding the future of the institution are addressed.
