Title

Collecting & Display organises yearly conferences around a specific topic. So far we have had summer conferences on Collecting & Princely Ambition (2006), on Collecting & the Princely Apartment (2007),  on Women Collectors (2008), and on Collecting East & West (2009). Cambridge Scholars Publishing have agreed to publish the proceedings of these four conferences.

It is our aim to create a series of volumes on the most up-to-date research in the field of Collecting & Display and thus to further international dissemination and discussion as we do with our monthly seminars held at the Institute of Historical Research in London and at Florence University of the Arts in Florence.

The first volume of conference papers on Collecting & Dynastic Ambition has been published and can be purchased from CSP via http://www.c-s-p.org/ or from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com, or can be ordered through any bookshop e.g. Blackwell's, Bertram's or Waterstone's. 

The second volume Collecting & the Princely Apartment is in preparation and will come out in January 2011.
