ABSTRACT This paper introduces the concept of ‘object habits’ for diversifying the scope of museum histories. The term is shorthand referring to an area’s customs relating to objects, taking into account factors that influence the types of things chosen, motivations for collecting, modes of acquisition, temporal variations in procurement, styles of engagements with artefacts or specimens, their treatment, documentation and representation, as well as attitudes to their presentation and reception. These customs emerge not only within the museum or out in the field, but significantly between the two, within the full agency of the world. The articles in this special issue explore the potential of ‘object habits’ in relation to the history of museums and collections across a selection of disciplines and a range of object types, including ancient artefacts, natural history specimens, archival documents, and photographic evidence.

介绍——对象习惯：田野工作和博物馆的遗产

摘要 本文介绍了“对象习惯”的概念，以扩大博物馆历史的范围。该术语是指一个地区与物品有关的习俗，考虑到影响所选物品类型、收集动机、获取方式、采购的时间变化、与人工制品或标本的接触方式、处理方式、文件记录等因素。和代表，以及对他们的介绍和接受的态度。这些习俗不仅出现在博物馆内或野外，而且在世界的全部机构内显着地介于两者之间。本期特刊中的文章探讨了与博物馆和收藏品历史相关的“物品习惯”的潜力，涵盖一系列学科和一系列物品类型，
