Nordic National Museums Strengthening Arctic Heritage
TemaNord, ISSN 0908-6692 ; 2020:514, 2020
Nordic national cultural history museums are linked with Arctic societies due to the shared herit... more Nordic national cultural history museums are linked with Arctic societies due to the shared heritage of substantial museum collections. We share concerns to re-vitalize, preserve and exchange knowledge on this heritage. Thanks to a grant from NMR’s The Nordic region and its neighbors to the west the National Museum (DK) in partnership with the Museum of Cultural History (NO) in 2017-19 successfully executed the project Arctic heritage in Nordic museums. Strengthening Arctic efforts in Nordic national museums. This volume presents recommendations within the project’s three major fields:
1) Intensified collaboration on digital strategies and heritage perspectives with Canadian Inuit organizations,
2) a comprehensive and critical analysis of digital databases of cultural institutions in the ABM sector,
3) the constitution of a feasible and sustainable Nordic Cross-Arctic Museum Network.

Adolf Eric) Nordenskiöld (1832–1901) navigated
the Vega along the Arctic shoreline of the Eurasian
continent from Norway to the Bering Strait, becoming
known as the “Vega Expedition,” it was a model
scholarly venture of its time, with an extensive research
program in hydrography, meteorology, geology, botany,
and zoology conducted by a team of trained scientists.
In 2019, the two authors - both Arctic/North American ethnology curators at their respective national museums, NMNH, and the Swedish National Museums of World Cultures/Statens museer för världskultur - agreed to revisit the Vega Chukchi collection and to research its history since 1880.

Mit dem Aufblühen der Textilindustrie in St.Gallen in den späten 1860er-Jahren erreichten Ostschweizer Erzeugnisse Abnehmer in aller Welt und Produkte von dort nahmen ihren Weg nach St.Gallen. Nach der Gründung der Ostschweizerischen Geographisch-Commerziellen
Gesellschaft (OGCG) 1878 gelangten im Jahr 1889 auch die ethnogra-fischen Sammlungen des Historischen Vereins dorthin. Diese wurden dann 1921 in das neugegründete Historische und Völkerkundemuseum St. Gallen (HVM) überführt.

thanks to a long-established tradition of academic learning and because of many devoted private citizens, Swiss museums were able to amass impressive ethnographic and archaeological collections from various parts of the Arctic. Only recently did the Swiss “Arctic riches” receive some attention; this short paper tells the story of an attempt to summarize ethnographic and, partly, archaeological, collections from the North housed at Swiss museums.
The aim of this article is to shed some light on what has happened and, in some cases, suggest corrections.

However, the impact of intangible culture on what has been created may not be possible to estimate. It is impossible to capture all of the com- plexity of Arctic art in a short article. So only ideas were collected on how this art can be viewed through time and what we can learn from it.
1) Intensified collaboration on digital strategies and heritage perspectives with Canadian Inuit organizations,
2) a comprehensive and critical analysis of digital databases of cultural institutions in the ABM sector,
3) the constitution of a feasible and sustainable Nordic Cross-Arctic Museum Network.
