Excerpt from A Handbook for Readers at the British Museum Thyo years after the royal donation, on the 15th of January 1759, by which time the preliminary arrangements were settled, the British Museum, composed of the three divisions - Printed Books, Manuscripts, and Natural History - was Opened to the public, accommodation having been provided for a small number of students. Of the original Reading-room there appear to exist no detailed accounts; but that it differed very materially in size, in general convenience, and mode Of admission to the present one, there is not the slightest doubt. Comparison, we should think, could not be drawn between them, nor, perhaps, ought it. But from what we can picture of the first national Salle de lecture we should say that it was not very unlike the little Educational Reading-room with its windows opening on a fine lawn studded with majestic elms - attached, at the present time, to the Science and Art Department at the South Kensington Museum? In the reign of James I. This library is said to have been in a flourishing condition, well stored with all sorts of good books from the beginning of printing; but in succeeding reigns it was sadly neglected, and disgracefully housed.

Since the modern period, the field of biblical studies has relied upon libraries, museums, and archives for its evidentiary and credentialing needs. Yet, absent in biblical scholarship is a thorough and critical examination of the instrumentality of the discipline’s master archives for elite power structures. Addressing this gap in biblical scholarship lies central to this book. Interrogated here is a premier repository or master archive of the discipline: the British Museum. Using an assemblage of critical theories from archival discourse to postcolonial studies, space theory to governmentality studies, the focal point of this book is at the intersections of the Museum’s rise to scientific prominence, the British Empire, and the conferring of scientific authority to modern biblical critics in the nineteenth century. Gregory L. Cuéllar initiates a season of historicization of the master archives of biblical studies and archival criticism.
