MESL Content Selection
Fowler Museum of Cultural History
1995 Distribution Description
The Fowler Museum's content selection for the first round of the MESL
project was based on the concept that each data set of images and text
should be comprehensive enough to form a useful teaching unit. We
approached this in two ways. One data set, 170 Pre-Columbian ceramics from
Peru, was taken from the catalogue for a recent exhibition. The other data
set, comprising 343 African objects from the Yoruba and Akan cultures, was
selected as a result of direct contact between our Curator of African Art
and professors at MESL universities known to him to be interested in that
material. We augmented the African data set with field photographs showing
similar objects in actual use.
