> University and Museum Collections : new challenges, new momentum ?
Lættia Maison-Soulard et Sébastien Soubiran
> Should universities really exhibit their collections to the general public ?
Michèle Antoine
After having remarked the heterogeneity and the abundance of University Collections, in addition to the difficulties that universities experience when presenting their collections to the public, the author examines some original and innovative ways of exhibiting this heritage.
> Another vision : for an interdisciplinary approach of University Heritage
Laurence Roussillon-Constanty
Stemming from recent collaborative attempts in Toulouse between the university world and cultural institutions, the author looks at more general questions regarding the possible links between universities, scientific education and what culture can bring ; most notably the different ways in which science and art can open new ways in the valorisation of university heritage and scientific culture.
> Contemporary heritage and scientific and technical culture
Catherine Cuenca
In charge of the national mission of the ‘Arts et Métiers/Arts and Crafts’ Museum, the author presents the objectives and the first achievements of this tool set up to provide an inventory, to increase awareness towards preservation, to conserve and valorise the scientific and technical heritage from the last 50 years ; underlining more specifically the regional organisation of the established network, and its European dimension.
> University Collections and Palaeontology
Jérôme Thomas
From the example of the Trans’tyfipal® programme, led by the Biogeosciences laboratory at Burgundy University, and which aims at listing all the Paleontological type specimens kept in France, the author explains how one of the major challenges for university museums is to encourage research, training and promotion so as to develop harmoniously together.
> The importance of Natural Science Collections for biodiversity knowledge
Alain Canard, Jean-Claude Beaucornu, Joël Boustie et Dominique Bernard
Treated well and then put to one side, specimen collections now constitute an indispensable resource for studies on biodiversity and its evolution : the example of Rennes University 1 shows that collections should regain their status in relation to their interest ; but that a problem still needs to be solved, that of the drop in numbers of researchers working in the systematic field.
> Protection, inventory and development of the heritage of the Midi-Pyrénées Observatory
Emmanuel Davoust
The Midi-Pyrénées Observatory, which is dependent on the Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse, owns a well-stocked collection of astronomical equipment, archives and photography plates : the head of the commission in charge of carrying out the inventory and developing this heritage reviews the work done and the difficulties met.
