ABSTRACT The Australian Museum hosted a weekly program of public lantern lectures for over two decades at the beginning of the twentieth century. The slides from these lectures were based on photographs and illustrations made during the empirical pursuit of fieldwork and professional scientific enquiry, and remain intact and catalogue as a complete set in the Museum to this day. This Archive Feature examines women’s work in applying colour, to exacting standards, on a selection of the lecturing slides. It interrogates how colour was used to both enliven the scenes shown to non-specialist audiences and to bolster the authority of fieldwork expeditions and museum collecting.

科学家之手的动画：20 世纪初澳大利亚博物馆的女性调色师

摘要 20 世纪初，澳大利亚博物馆每周举办一次公共灯笼讲座计划，持续了二十多年。这些讲座的幻灯片是根据实地考察和专业科学探究的经验追求过程中制作的照片和插图制作的，至今仍完好无损，并在博物馆中作为完整的目录编目。这个档案特辑检查了女性在应用色彩方面的工作，以严格的标准，在精选的演讲幻灯片上。它询问了如何使用颜色来活跃向非专业观众展示的场景，并加强实地考察和博物馆收藏的权威。
