Utilizing the great wealth of inventories of household goods stored at The National Archives of Iceland in conjunction with material objects, the book highlights new paths and insights into understanding people’s possessions and material relations, and the entwined biographies of people and things. It shows how people shaped their own lives by means of things, and how these material relations are “archived” and represented in heritage and museum spaces. The book is divided into two parts that explore how material culture contributes to history, the relationship between things and text, the practice of collecting things and address the process of assembly, or how things gather. Micro and macro methods of investigation tease out new approaches to debates around human-thing relationships, acknowledging ideas about material agency and social significance and that the human-material relation is reciprocal.
This volume will appeal to students and researchers within the field of archaeology, material culture studies, museum studies, heritage and the history of material culture.
Dr. Kristján Mímisson is an archaeologist and editorial curator at the National Museum of Iceland. Dr. Davið Ólafsson is a historian and associate professor at the University of Iceland.
