DESCRIPTION:Between the 1890s and 1930s\, innumerable collecting expedition
 s traversed the globe in pursuit of scientific facts and specimens for nat
 ural history and the allied field of anthropology. This symposium draws to
 gether scholars working on the anthropology of expeditions and their colle
 cted natural and cultural materials. There was tremendous diversity in the
  size\, length\, and organization of expeditions\; some fieldworkers trave
 led solo for years in familiar places\, while others formed specialized ca
 ravans which set foot for a fortnight along untraveled paths. Itineraries 
 were structured by engagements with bureaucrats\, local intermediaries\, a
 nd native collectors who played central roles in shaping the collections s
 hipped from the field. This symposium is organized around three themes whi
 ch explore the fieldwork of expeditions\, the material culture of explorat
 ion\, and the dispersal of collections. Travel and assemblage considers th
 e narratives\, technologies\, and collecting habits of expedition members.
   Visualities examines the processes and encounters of artistic work in th
 e field and the research and exhibitions that were the outcome of those la
 bors. And\, after-lives and reassemblage assesses the research\, and exhib
 ition potential of expedition objects\, archived documentation\, and photo
 graphs for museums of natural history and anthropology. Although dreams of
  totality were the rationale of most expeditions\, the papers presented he
 re highlight their idiosyncrasies and unexpected outcomes\, and the bearin
 g they could have for histories of the natural sciences and anthropology.F
