Science education and teaching History of science, as a discipline Material culture Interdisciplinary approach to knowledge Collectors and collecting 21st century Göttingen (Germany) Göttingen. Universität

Scientific collections at universities are important resources for research, teaching, and education in their respective disciplines. Furthermore, during the last decades an interdisciplinary and supra-institutional discourse arose wherein collecting is treated as an universal scientific practice. It’s focus is on aspects that are common to collections in different disciplines such as ethical issues, e.g. related to the provenience of collection items. As such approaches involving ‘external’ researchers from fields like history of science or material culture studies treat collections in different ways as is usual within their original disciplinary cultures, they might in some way alter the collections studied. Unfortunately, case studies on collection research projects highlighting such transformations are a rare exception. In this paper, I, as a historian of science, use the concept of cultural appropriation as it is applied within the material culture studies to describe the process of becoming familiar with a collection, in this case the “Human Embryology Collection (Blechschmidt Collection)” at Göttingen University. As I will show, the historical research on the provenience of its embryonic and fetal specimens not only altered the status and functions, but also the materiality of the collection in a very fundamental way.
