In about a month I will be visiting some Natural History collections and attending to the Symposium: Universitätsmuseen und –sammlungen im Hochschulalltag. Aufgaben – Konzepte – Perspektiven
While at the Humboldt U., I hope to be able to visit some archives in order to get a glimpse of what was Berlin like in the 1860's, when Barbosa du Bocage, Professor of the Polytechnic School and director of the zoological (and anthropological) collections and museum, was their correspondent.
ps: In the rough - and at the same time sweet - voice of Marlene Dietrich, Berlin already seems a little bit nearer...
NEW Log
May 2011
I did in fact visit the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften archives whilst in Berlin last year and I manage to draw some (few) but interesting informations. Mostly on the difficulties of maintaining contact inbetween academies (Lisboa-Berlin). Specially during the second world war, when Lisboa quite stubbornly held a history congress in 1940 and invited delegations from all over europe. Should come as no surprise that the mail invitations didn't really get to the academy in Berlin on time. (or to anywhere else, for that matter).
