Book Description: Exploring Emotion, Care, and Enthusiasm in Unloved Museum Collections: Collection Development, Cultural Heritage, and Digital Humanities Author: [List of Authors] Year: [Year of Publication] Genre: Non-Fiction, Museum Studies, Cultural Heritage, Digital Humanities Summary: Millions of items are held in museum collections around the world, but many museums have very few visitors to their stored collections. These stored objects are certainly not neglected by their professional custodians and are loved with a great intensity by some curators and enthusiasts. However, for all but a tiny proportion of the population, they have little or no personal meaning. This book goes beyond strategic discussions of access to stored information, enhancement, or collections rationalization and focuses on the emotional potential of these objects.
