Journal of Transactions of the Victorian Institute

I have been searching for quotes that might be applicable to use in the exhibit that can demonstrate the change of mentality towards science and religion in order to stick with the themes of science and sentiment.

Here are some my thoughts mumble jumbled but need to be let loose:

• G.F's British born grandfather was a member of the Victoria Institute, his name was Amos F. Beardsley, Sr.
• Both Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell are mentioned in many of their papers/theories etc...
• Both Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell had Mountains named after their research and publications in the Pacific region due to their contributions... (By looking at historical maps it can be seen early on the location names were put in place)
• The scientific thought in the Journal of Transactions that was highly debated at the time of publication (And in some cases even today) included both Darwin and Lyell's contributions. I presume those ideas influenced G.F. Beardsley, but before him, his grandfather Amos F. Beardsley
• creationism, catastrophism, uniformitarianism were all ideas being debated. The Hot Topics! 

Reading over the quotes from several Journal of Transactions I find it interesting how seemingly progressive the writers and researchers appear to have been! It's entertaining and interesting to read through and imagine these influential characters disclose their findings and then argue (or debate) in a manner that was so literary. intelligent, polite and respectful.

Here are just two quotes but there are so many more good ones its hard to say what is best for the exhibit:

artifacts

It's understood that the "Tasmanian Sojourn" ideally would highlight the Tasmanian region however provided the artifacts found within our accession, it involves a range of items from many different countries.  We agree to include a note within the exhibit that expresses that the artifacts were left to our own interpretation and some were left more information than others.  The focus of the artifacts represented are from the Pacific islands.

lab hours

2hours researching online sources for mine information
1.5 in library searching for historical maps
1.5 hour reading Journal of Transaction Philosophical Society of Great Britain
30 minutes blogging
1.5 hour met with group
1 hour met with Professor Terri Castaneda (absence)
1.5 met with Tasmania Sojourn group/museum photographing more artifacts

fluidity between groups within exhibit

After meeting with Tasmania Sojourn group, it is a concern to have fluidity or an understanding of what will be represented on the timelines between Parallel Lives and Tasmania Sojourn.  Right now both groups want to have a timeline, maybe we can decide tomorrow or correspond online about this.  In order to better serve the spectators of the museum what can we do?

-have one timeline?
-keep two serperate timelines that stay on different topics?
-incorporate a similar theme between the two timelines to ensure it's fluid to the viewer?

If we are to have a similar theme between the timelines, maybe we can address the idea of catastrophists, unifortmitarianists, science and religion?

*Just throwing ideas out there

exciting find

Yesterday while meeting with Casteneda we looked at an artifact.

After speaking with a friend who has worked at several mines she sent me this link: http://www.icollector.com/Antique-brass-gold-scale_i11319106

This is worth a lot to collectors and was used to weigh gold!
