I am new to list and wanted to introduce myself.
I am a graduate student in History at Columbia University. I am writing a
dissertation on the emergence of provincial museums in England between
1845 and 1914. I am interested in who was involved in building museums,
who visited them, and how English institutions differed from American
and European ones. I would be most interested in corresponding with
anyone with similar interests. Museum history seems to be an expanding
field, only recently discovered by academic historians.
