This most recent volume in the Artefacts series, Challenging Collections: Approaches to the Heritage of Recent Science and Technology , focuses on the question of collecting post-World War II scientific and technological heritage in museums, and the challenging issue of how such artifacts can be displayed and interpreted for diverse publics. In addition to examples of practice, editors Alison Boyle (Science Museum, London) and Johannes-Geert Hagmann (Deutsches Museum, Munich) have invited prominent historians and curators to reflect on the nature of recent scientific and technological heritage, and to challenge the role of museum collections in the twenty-first century. Challenging Collections will certainly be part of an ever-evolving dialogue among communities of collectors and scholars seeking to keep pace with the changing landscapes of science and technology, museology, and historiography.
