%X ever since anthropology became a discipline, fieldwork and in situ research, combined with the study of material objects stored/displayed in museums, both formed an integral part of the way anthropological knowledge is produced. scientific/academic collectionism became stocked with theoretical premises and methodological procedures conceived under the paradigm of ¡®natural history.' dealing with this heritage is as important as it is difficult to respond to the post-colonial challenges faced by ethnographic museums wherever they are located. the rebirth of material culture studies played a crucial role in these reorientations and developments and was just as significant as anthropology's ¡®literary turn' towards reading culture as a text. the creation of virtual archives of texts can be (and probably already is) a significant element in any documentation of collections.
