Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. How can Archaeology help us understand our contemporary world? This ground-breaking book reflects on material, visual and digital culture from the Calais "Jungle" - the informal camp where, before its destruction in October 2016, more than 10,000 displaced people lived. LANDE: The Calais 'Jungle' and Beyond reassesses how we understand 'crisis', activism, and the infrastructure of national borders in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, foregrounding the politics of environments, time, and the ongoing legacies of empire. Introducing a major collaborative exhibit at Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum, the book argues that an anthropological focus on duration, impermanence and traces of the most recent past can recentre the ongoing human experiences of displacement in Europe today.

Special collections of religious and theological materials have been part of the landscape of academic libraries in North America from their beginnings. This collection of ten articles treats several aspects of this rich history in three sections: the first deals with the history of specific collections at four libraries; the second treats current attempts to use special collections in teaching and the outreach mission of the library, including the development and use of digital technologies; and the third explores topics related to building library collections for the future, noting both pitfalls to be avoided and intriguing opportunities.

The Museum of Natural History of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo d'Asburgo Lorena, is one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific museums in the world. The fourth volume on the Collections of the Mineralogy and Lithology Section, published like the previous volumes by the Firenze University Press, fits perfectly in the series dedicated to the collections of the University's Museum System. The first part of the book describes in great detail the paths that led to the formation of the collections, starting with those dating to the Medici period and arriving at the specimens collected during recent expeditions. The second part illustrates and documents the extraordinary specimens of minerals, hardstone carvings and meteorites which represent the material patrimony of this section. Particular attention is given to the holotypes, the Elban Collection and the minerals of pegmatites, as well as the methods and solutions adopted to realize the project of the new museum exhibition set-up. The third and last part describes the studies carried out on the materials: from the minerals of the systematic collections to the rock specimens that recount not only the geodiversity of a region but also the history of a city.

Much has been written, and very well written, on the collection in the 19th century in and through fiction: it is therefore another path that the voices gathered here would like to explore. Based on collections of all kinds (private and public, literary, historical and artistic, editorial and museological), from a necessarily and resolutely interdisciplinary perspective, the aim is to question the specificity of the act and of the discourse of the collection in the 19th century, and to think of it as a figuration and a fiction, a production and a projection of a, or even of the, 19th century. Beaucoup a été écrit, et fort bien écrit, sur la collection au XIXe siècle dans et par la fiction : c’est donc une autre voie que les voix ici réunies voudraient explorer. À partir de collections de tous ordres (privé et public, littéraire, historique et artistique, éditorial et muséal), selon une perspective nécessairement et résolument interdisciplinaire, il s’agit d’interroger la spécificité du geste – à la geste de la Révolution attaché – et du discours de la collection au XIXe siècle, et de les penser comme figuration et fiction, production et projection d’un, voire du XIXe siècle, bref : le XIXe siècle à l’épreuve de la collection.

The universal practice of selecting and excerpting, summarizing and canonizing, arranging and organizing texts and visual signs, either in carefully dedicated types of manuscripts or not, is common to all manuscript cultures. Determined by intellectual or practical needs, this process is never neutral in itself. The resulting proximity and juxtaposition of previously distant contents, challenge previous knowledge and trigger further developments. With a vast selection of highly representative case studies - from India, Islamic Asia and Spain to Ethiopian cultures, from Ancient Christian to Coptic, and Medieval European domains - this volume deals with manuscripts planned or growing and resulting in time to comprise 'more than one'. Whatever their contents - the natural world and related recipes, astronomical tables or personal notes, documentary, religious and even highly revered holy texts - codicological and textual features of these manuscripts reveal how similar needs received different answers in varying contexts and times.

Les espaces en libre accès réclament lisibilité et pertinence documentaire. Pour y parvenir, les bibliothécaires se trouvent confrontés à un triple défi : réussir à organiser les collections intellectuellement, mais aussi physiquement, dans un lieu particulier, et enfin tenir compte des publics et des usages. L'aménagement des espaces documentaires, et particulièrement la mise en œuvre de plans de classement, est une nécessité ressentie par les professionnels. Cet ouvrage fournit un mode opératoire précis, illustré à partir d'exemples concrets pour mener ce type de projet. La première partie concerne l'étude des collections et des spécificités architecturales, tandis que la deuxième partie est consacrée à la constitution du manuel de cotation, pour finir sur la maintenance et l'évolution du plan de classement dans le temps. Coordonné par Bertrand Calenge, ce volume est la boîte à outils indispensable à tous ceux qui ont à réaliser un tel chantier.
