SUMMARY:Early modern English and German collecting networks and practice: m
 edicine and natural philosophy
DESCRIPTION:The shift from a purposefully and playfully disordered Kunstkam
 mer to the well-ordered Enlightenment museum is known. What has yet to be e
 xplored fully is the process through which this transformation occurred. Th
 is two-day workshop will investigate the role of learned societies in that 
 transformation between England and German-speaking lands, focusing on the r
 elatively understudied period from the foundation of the Leopoldina as a me
 dical association (1652) to the start of the Royal Society Presidency of Jo
 seph Banks (1778). It will explore why it was that physicians seemed to hav
 e such a seminal role in collecting and connoisseurship in both regions. Di
 d medics in the Leopoldina, the Society of Antiquaries in London and the Ro
 yal Society have similar collecting practices, strategies, and underlying r
 easons for collecting? What were their contributions to the creation of won
 der cabinets and early museums, as well as their development of norms of co
 nnoisseurship and classification of knowledge?  Participants will engage wi
 th the archives of the Leopoldina and the Francke Foundation’s extant Kunst
 - und Naturalienkammer (art and natural history cabinet) in Halle, a rare s
 urvivor from the 17th century. The workshop will include a public concert o
 f baroque chamber music. This workshop is part of a networking grant award 
 from the  Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC): Collective Wisdom: C
 ollecting in the Early Modern Academy.  (Principal Investigator: Anna Marie
  Roos (University of Lincoln), Co-Investigator: Vera Keller (University of
