Begun in 1989, the Journal of the History of Collections has played a pivotal role in the development of the study of collecting. A multidisciplinary field by nature, the study of collecting began, arguably, with research into the early modern period and such cabinets of curiosities as those belonging to Hans Sloane and Ulisse Aldrovandi. With 35 complete volumes of the Journal now having been published, the time is ripe for a look at the past, present and future of the field. This will also be an occasion to mark the appointment of Christina M. Anderson as Editor in Chief and the recent retirement of the Journal’s Founding Editor, Arthur MacGregor.
