museums, libraries and arboreta to make their collections more open, participatory, and democratic through data. This cluster of networked-age intellectual values is taking hold at institutions that carry long legacies of prior norms: preservation, expertise,
comprehensiveness, excellence and commemoration. In some cases, the emerging values build on older ones; in other cases, they seem to clash. In public discourse, these initiatives and controversies play out in the keys of policy and technology—but they have
important cultural dimensions as well. Yet remarkably little critical attention has been given to the changing meanings of collections and collections data. This talk will present work in progress on a multi-site and multi-media ethnography of networked-age
collections. As one of the most comprehensive and best-documented living collections of trees, shrubs and vines in the world, Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum plays an important, early role as an exploratory site for the broader initiative.</font></span></p>
