Neuware - Over the past two decades, natural things--especially those collected, exchanged, studied, and displayed in museums, such as animals, plants, minerals, and rocks--have emerged as fascinating protagonists for historical research. Nature on Paper follows a different, humbler set of objects that make it possible to trace the global routes and shifting meanings of those natural things: the catalogs, inventories, and other paper tools of information management that form the backbone of collection institutions.
