EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM H-NET
Greetings!
We have just gotten our 1500st member! I can stop writing “nearly 1500 members” all over the place! Let us mark the landmark with reflection and reminders.
We happily announce The Stuff of Science, Medicine, and Technology a new collaboration with H-Sci-Med-Tech to mine the rich vein of overlapping interests between Material Culture Studies and The History of Science.
Here's news of an interesting gallery exhibition: “Capturing Nature: Instruments, Specimens, Art,”
Not just materiality in several sciences here, but art, communication, questions of curating it all, museumization, teaching....truly a heroic collaborative effort, and all from a bunch of first year students!

After Rita Andrade’s post, I started thinking about objects that point users to other objects and the double layers of meaning this can reveal. Rita’s object was a text, and so is this one, but I wonder if they always must be? “Directions” and "instructions" come to mind, but I wonder if there are objects that are not print that point their user to use other objects?
