Due to COVID-19, the Museums and Galleries History Group (MGHG) biennial conference will be held in London on "Museum Networks and Museum History" on 14th - 16th July 2021.
This conference seeks to take critical stock of the role of networks in understanding the history of museums and collections. In particular, it will discuss the use of networks of various types as tools of analysis, or which engage with the methodological/theoretical issues raised by networks and/or the rejection of network approaches. Networks have become an increasingly important part of the analytical toolkit used by historians of museums and collections. As scholars have moved away from narrative institutional histories, they have embraced the study of social and material networks as approaches which expand understandings of museums.
