Zoology Nature and its relationship to culture; human-nature relationships 19th century 20th century, early Naples (Italy) Dohrn, Anton Felix Stazione Zoologica di Napoli

This tribute is a modest but deeply felt homage to Christiane Groeben, “the historical memory” of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn. The work she has done over 45 years is a fundamental contribution to the history of the Stazione and to the history of biology. The debt that we all owe to her is multilayered, as a developing organism. At the inner layer we find her long and hard work as an archivist at the Stazione, which has made available to scholars a huge amount of relevant archives (manuscripts, correspondence, administrative documentation, photos) of an invaluable utility for a great number of historians and philosophers of biology as well as for art historians and historians of scientific institutions. In the intermediate layer we find her methodological and stringent lesson on the use of archival sources: each document is a fact, a fundamental starting point for each historical reconstruction, but at the same time this fact always needs a theory to be explained and accurately placed within a rational reconstruction of the past.
