 Speaker: \n\nSamuel J. M. M. Alberti\, PhD\, FRSE\, is Director of Collect
 ions at National Museums Scotland\, and an Honorary Professor in Heritage 
 Studies at the University of Stirling in Scotland. For 20 years he has wor
 ked at the intersection of museums and universities\, first in Manchester\
 , then as Director of Museums and Archives at the Royal College of Surgeon
 s of England (including the Hunterian Museum)\, while holding visiting res
 earch appointments in London\, Philadelphia\, and Edinburgh. While his rec
 ent practice has focussed on the role of museums in the climate emergency 
 and Cold War museology (he is currently Principal Investigator on the AHRC
  project\, ‘Materialising the Cold War’)\, he maintains an affectionate in
 terest in medical museums.\n\nSynopsis: \n\nMuseums and Medical Knowledge:
  past\, present\, and future: Although populated by the dead\, medical mus
 eums are for the living. From their roots in the Enlightenment\, medical p
 ractitioners have gathered pathological and anatomical material for clinic
 al and educational benefit. This practice reached its zenith around 1900\,
  when Maude Abbott led a generation of medical curators who gathered\, arr
 anged and taught with extensive medical collections in universities and el
 sewhere. Over the twentieth century\, their functions and audiences shifte
 d\, as the profession and public alike became more interested in medical h
 eritage. This gave rise to the flurry of redevelopments in the past two de
 cades\, when museums and universities alike activated their collections fo
 r public benefit. This is evident not only in their galleries but also in 
 their collecting and programming – as illustrated by one area of particula
 r relevance\, the use of medical museums to promote a deeper understanding
  of disability and difference. What links these curators\, collections and
  activities is the intention to use medical collections public good: wheth
 er clinical\, educational\, social or cultural. The Bicentennial of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ
 ’s world-class collection is an apposite time to reflect on the past\, pre
 sent and future of the use of varied medical knowledge by medical museums 
 around the world.\n\nThe Holmes Lecture will be preceded by a virtual tour
  premiere of the Maude Abbott Medical Museum\, with an exclusive in-depth 
 look at the Museum’s two new exhibitions\, followed by a live Q&A with mus
 eum director Richard Fraser\, MDCM.\n\nOn March 18\, a day-long symposium 
 will bring together individuals interested in the life and work of Maude A
 bbott\, longtime Curator of the museum and will showcase research on Dr. A
 bbott’s medical innovations\, museology experience\, publications\, teachi
 ng\, exhibitions\, role as a pioneering female doctor and relationships wi
 th other individuals. Please consult the full program here.\n\n \n\n \n
