Call for Papers

The seminar series has been established as part of the Wallace Collection's commitment to the research and study of the history of collections and collecting, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Paris and London.We are keen to encourage contributions covering all aspects of collecting, including:

-Formation and dispersal of collections
-Dealers, auctioneers and the art market
-Collectors
-Museums
-Inventory Work
-Research Resources

The seminars, which are bi-monthly, act as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research into the history of colllecting. Seminars are open to curators, academics, historians, archivists and all those with an interest in the subject. Papers are generally between 20 and 40 minutes long and most seminars take place at the Wallace Collection.

Proposals should be submitted by Friday, 17 November 2006. For more information please contact:
