Museum Object Lessons for the Digital Age explores the nature of digital objects in museums, asking us to question our assumptions about the material, social and political foundations of digital practices. Through four wide-ranging chapters, each focused on a single object – a box, pen, effigy and cloak – this short, accessible book explores the legacies of earlier museum practices of collection, older forms of media (from dioramas to photography), and theories of how knowledge is produced in museums on a wide range of digital projects. Swooping from Ethnographic to Decorative Arts Collections, from the Google Art Project to bespoke digital experiments, Haidy Geismar explores the object lessons contained in digital form and asks what they can tell us about both the past and the future. Drawing on the author’s extensive experience working with collections across the world, Geismar argues for an understanding of digital media as material, rather than immaterial, and advocates for a more nuanced, ethnographic and historicised view of museum digitisation projects than those usually adopted in the celebratory accounts of new media in museums. By locating the digital as part of a longer history of material engagements, transformations and processes of translation, this book broadens our understanding of the reality effects that digital technologies create, and of how digital media can be mobilised in different parts of the world to very different effects.

Excerpt from Experimental Object Lessons: Bible Truths Simply Taught The average Sunday-school teacher works under great disadvantages. The majority of Sunday-schoolsiare not provided with separate class rooms, and the teacher has to circle his scholars around him in chairs, or, worse still, have them seated before him in long pews, so that while he is addressing one end of the class those at the other end cannot hear him without an effort. The average Sunday school scholar does not make the effort. Distractions are numerous and constant. Anything, therefore, which will help to keep the eyes of the pupils upon the teacher and their minds upon the lesson is to be welcomed. The object lessons given in this volume are written in a very simple manner, as though a teacher were talking with his class. The talks are only given as hints. They can be remodeled by the teacher to suit the lessons being studied and to meet the special needs of the pupils. It is always best to try the ex periments first at home so that no awkward ness may mar the effect in the class.
