Oh, so you mean present-day exhibitions of early modern objects? I'll have a think. This volume co-edited by @mackenziecooley.bsky.social, @annatoledano.com, and @duyguyildirim.bsky.social (someone needs to encourage them to hang out here!) may have leads:

The first two chapters - by Maria Portuondo and Joe Dennis - show the making of two different guidelines.

We go back in time with @lxslcs.bsky.social's elegant chapter on the precedents for the guidelines, "Imperial Territorial Data before the Age of Print: “Illustrated Guidelines.”

How did states a world apart develop similar documentary techniques to know the dominions under their control, and how do these techniques help us understand the state in question?

Between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, centrally appointed imperial officials in both China and the Spanish Americas were instructed to gather, compile, and submit information about the locales they administered, following a centrally issued, itemized compilation guideline or questionnaire.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the conversation at the core of this book.

Last but not least, we need global histories that aren't all about loose connections. World history is full of similar inventions to solve similar problems.
