私は医学史の研究者で、扱っている時代が色々と合わせても初期近代から20世紀中葉頃までである。医師に注目するとどうしても男性ばかりになる。看護人は女性の看護婦が多いが、まだきちんと研究したことはない。女性がたくさん存在して研究のマテリアルが潤沢にあるのは女性の患者になる。女性患者が何かをコレクトしたケースというのは、私が見ている精神病院の症例でも時々あり、出版されたものになるといくつかある。書いてみたいけれども、他の優先すべき仕事もあって、日程的にいって、この特集号に間に合わせてまとめあげるのはちょっと苦しい。
日本史の研究者やアーキビストたちも、女性が集めたコレクションについて何か言いたいケースはありませんか？もちろん医学や科学だけでなく、人文学、芸術、ビジネスなど、何のジャンルでもいいので、どうかご応募ください。

Women have not been only inspiration for the cultural world, but been also active as collectors or researchers in collections. They have left their mark in science, natural history and art. Important contributions to cite chronologically are those of Catherine the Great of Russia (1762-1796, art collector), Frances Mary Richardson Currer (1785-1861, book collector), Mary Anning (1799 - 1847, fossil collector) and Gertrude Bell (1868-1926, archaeologist who helped with the establishment of the National Museum of Iraq with one of the best collections of Mesopotamian antiquities).
Although the role of women has been important in collections, it has not been so popular as with males. This issue will display different roles in which women have been active in collections such as active collectors, known by their input in collections or for inspiration.
Articles might be focused on any role played by women regarding collections:
* Women as collectors
* Women as collection researchers
* Women as inspirational point of view
* Women as collection subject
