The studies in this volume are the result of the
work of the focus group dealing with this theme at
Collegium Budapest in 2005, sponsored by the
Getty Foundation. The representation of the past
by the selection, preservation and display of its
relics and monuments became central to the de-
velopment of the European nations in the modern
sense. The underlying process of "musealization"
played a crucial role, among other things, in the
development of autonomous disciplines related to
"antiquities" of various kinds (archaeology, art his-
tory, ethnology, Urgeschichte, and so on), in the
construction of national identities by the histori-
cization of the national self-images and in show-

of historical monuments and their protection; (4)
the new media employed in the resulting scholarly
documentation and musealization of these "antiq-
uities" (drawing, lithography, photography, plaster-
cast copies).
