Museums, Collections & Communities: Reflections on the life of Martin Hallett
Edited by Deborah Tout-Smith, Eleanor Whitworth & Margaret Anderson
A vital account of change in Australian museums. Martin Hallett — a notable curator of science and technology at Museums Victoria — had a long and distinguished career. He pioneered electronic cataloguing documentation systems (now used world-wide, including at the British Museum and the Smithsonian), established portals to access distributed collections and championed the presence of diverse voices through a unique storytelling approach.
In tribute to an extraordinary career, a number of Martin's colleagues — many with their own outstanding achievements in the sector — reflect on his significant contributions to the museum and heritage sector, charting critical changes to museological practises over three decades.
