ABSTRACT The Tower of London had a number of different and sometimes conflicting functions in the early nineteenth century. Among these its role as a museum underwent significant development during this period. Moves by the Ordnance Office to improve public access to its historic collections at the Tower as well as providing greater historical accuracy were clear reflections of a wider national trend. Attention has generally been focused on the developments to the historic collections in the New Horse Armoury; yet as this article demonstrates there were other aspects of the Ordnance Office collections at the Tower which were also undergoing noteworthy changes as a consequence of British diplomatic activity, overseas military successes, and continuing territorial expansion.

塑造伦敦塔军械办公室藏品:十九世纪初殖民扩张、外交和捐赠的影响

摘要 伦敦塔在 19 世纪初期具有许多不同的、有时甚至相互冲突的功能。其中,它作为博物馆的作用在此期间经历了重大发展。军械办公室为改善公众访问其在塔的历史收藏品以及提供更高的历史准确性而采取的行动清楚地反映了更广泛的全国趋势。人们普遍关注新马军械库中历史收藏的发展;然而,正如本文所展示的,由于英国外交活动、海外军事成功和持续的领土扩张,塔中军械办公室藏品的其他方面也正在发生显着变化。
