Towards Transparency: Access to Collections from Colonial Contexts | Online

Date: 19 and 20 November
Location: Online
Organisation: Colonial Collections Consortium
Language: English

From 19-23 November, the Colonial Collections Consortium is organizing the international event Towards Transparency: Access to Collections from Colonial Contexts. Transparency for collections from colonial contexts has been central to the work of the Consortium in redressing historical injustice. This event will launch two instruments which the Consortium developed or this: the Colonial Collections Datahub and the Research Aids. In addition, the event provides space to exchange ideas and perspectives on the meaning of transparency in this context. The in-person event on 23 November is preceded by two days of online exchange on 19 and 20 November.

The online program on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November opens the conversation to an international audience through stories, research cases and conversations and with demonstrations of the Datahub and the Research Aids. Participants can discover how information about collections is being made accessible, hear different perspectives on transparency and provenance research, and explore the possibilities and challenges of working with digital collection information.

The in-person event on 23 November takes these conversations further. More information about the in-person event can be found here.

Full program and registration details will be coming soon. If you wish to stay informed about this event, you can sign up for our Towards Transparency mailing list below.
