This research resurrects a female curator of acute contemporary relevance, using her story to uncover how gender and class issues led to historical amnesia in the heritage field. Bertha Hindshaw's (1881-1955) emphasis on the museum as a place of active learning, rather than treasure house, is particularly relevant to current museums' 'too much stuff' crisis. Steeped in the advanced ideas of female educators and artists of her circle, Hindshaw transformed the neglected Horsfall collection, changing lives in its surrounding inner-city community. This work drew international attention. By uncovering her networks and innovations, this research shows how Hindshaw's pioneering ideas evolved, asks how such an important figure was forgotten and reveals what we can learn from her practice.

这项研究复活了一位具有敏锐当代意义的女性策展人，利用她的故事来揭示性别和阶级问题如何导致遗产领域的历史失忆症。 Bertha Hindshaw（1881-1955）强调博物馆是一个主动学习的场所，而不是宝库，这与当前博物馆“东西太多”的危机尤其相关。 Hindshaw 深受其圈子中女性教育家和艺术家的先进理念的影响，改变了被忽视的 Horsfall 系列，改变了周围市中心社区的生活。这项工作引起了国际关注。通过揭示欣德肖的网络和创新，这项研究展示了欣德肖的开创性思想是如何演变的，询问了这样一个重要人物是如何被遗忘的，并揭示了我们可以从她的实践中学到什么。
