Description

This research explores the relationship between the conceptualisation of Britishness in Victorian Britain and the influence of the activities of the national archaeological societies, the British Archaeological Association and the Royal Archaeological Institute. By reviewing the records of the summer congresses four research questions are investigated. How are identities reflected by the manner in which artefacts are selected, displayed, and organized within the archaeological societies temporary museums? What reflections of identity can be recognized by a review of the respective journals, specifically those portions describing the annual summer congresses and related exhibitions? Are identities represented altered based upon the location of the congress? In what ways does the accessibility of archaeological material, both originals and replicas affect identity? By sampling each journal's recorded meeting minutes and independent publications, and analysing two case studies it is concluded that identity is represented differently by the two societies.
