論文の詳細を見る
This paper is an essay on collegiate museums, a very rare species in our country's museum community. It discusses the Criminal Museum of Meiji University in the hope of advancing the further evolution of the species. The discussion begins with a look at the Criminal Museum's history. Then follow details of a debate on the museum by experts inside and outside the university as they were made public after 1985. Summarizing the debate, the paper shows that the museum is perceived to "open the university," with a call for the division of its administration office into clerical and technical duties. It presents an analysis of relevant laws and the Meiji University rules. It is revealed that the university rules describe the museum as a research institute. One problem raised is the absence until today of any substantial provisions for curators in major school rules, such as Rules on Donations to Meiji University, the Meiji University Rules, and Regulations on Duties of Meiji University Employees. To sum up the academic views of students of museum science, it is obvious that curators are researchers of documents and other materials as well as educators. Also focussed are problems with the organization of the Meiji University Museum. These analyses lead to a clarification of challenges to be faced at the earliest opportunity. Also presented are draft provisions needed to properly position the university museum.
