科学仪器史的兴起是过去数十年科学史领域中一个令人瞩目的现象,很大程度上得益于博物馆藏品和博物馆从业人员对科学史研究的介入。这一研究趋势在国内仍未见波澜。清华大学科学博物馆自2018年筹建以来已经做出了一些尝试,在仪器和发明复原、科学仪器史等方向做出了探索,回应了自20世纪80年代以来国外科学史领域对科学仪器以及科学物质文化的关注,同时积极将自身的馆藏与科学的历史、清华的历史甚至中国的历史相联系。对相关研究的缘起和成果进行了分析总结,反思了既有工作,同时对国内科技类博物馆开展科学仪器史研究的相关方法论做了初步探索和展望。 |

Abstract: |
In the past few decades, the rise of the research for history of scientific instruments is a remarkable phenomenon in the field of the history of science, largely due to the involvement of museum collections and museum practitioners in the study of the history of science. However, this trend has not been embraced in China. Since its establishment in 2018, the Tsinghua University Science Museum has attempted to explore the restoration of instruments and inventions, as well as the history of scientific instruments, in response to the attention paid to scientific instruments and scientific material culture in the field of history of science abroad since the 1980s. It also makes consistent efforts to connect the museum's collections to the history of science, the history of Tsinghua University, even the history of modern China. This paper makes an analysis and summary of origins and results of these researches, reflects the existing works, also makes preliminary exploration and prospect of the relevant methodology of scientific instruments history research in domestic science and technology museums. |
