Interesting to learn about the Conversazione at the Victoria Memorial Museum in #Ottawa in March of 1927. Now to see what has been written in #historyofgeology #museology about this event. https://edinos.ca/historic-news-1927/

Silke Ackermann:
"Inclusion isn't just letting people through the door. we need to address the systemic imbalances and actually admit the existence of exclusion. how to bring all communities together and create trust between them? we have to stop treating excluded communities as numbers and exercise of sorts in various projects."

Marta C. Lourenço:
there are 3 big problems of university museums:
1. the situation of university museums is still volatile. there are constant tensions - between the university's past and its future, plus the tensions on macro and micro levels,
2. medical collections,
3. decolonization.

This weekend I stumbled upon #DownUnderPharaoh a webshop on Etsy offering amazing #replicas of ancient art. #Egyptian, #Mesopotamian, #Greek and #Roman, you name it. The prices look quite reasonable but as things go, shipping costs from Australia are prohibitive :- Anyone here who has experience doing business with them?

The Allard Pierson, the heritage museum of the University of Amsterdam, is starting a major investigation into the provenance of its archaeological collection. “As a museum, we want to maintain the highest ethical standards. The first step is proper provenance research into all objects in the collection. If something has been acquired illegally, we must put it right” (article in Dutch) https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/02/07/museum-allard-pierson-wil-herkomst-doorlichten-van-hele-collectie-a4156390

#Egyptology #museology #podcast
Is it strange that we go to museums to look at dead bodies? Angela Stienne’s book #Mummified explores some of the ethical issues around displaying ancient human remains. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, she explains how many Egyptian mummies ended up in European museums, and delves into current debates over how they should be displayed and treated.

I'm an #academic book #indexer in the #humanities specializing in #art, #musicology, #museology, #textiles, #fashion, #popculture, #film, #criticalstudies, #feminism, #socialjustice, #contemporaryart and #nonprofits.

I post about #indexing and #embeddedindexes while trying to help #academics and #scholars get their book #indexed or index it themselves. Other interests include #curling, #cats, #dogs, #baking, #wordplay and #knitting. Member of the #indexodon in #Canada, #PNW, #BC, #Vancouver.

By way of #introductions I'm an Australian public historian working in the #heritage sector in #Belfast #NorthernIreland / the North of #Ireland. You can find my more active instance @SamuelGuthrie@mastodon.ie

I am particularly interested in #VernacularHistory, #microhistory, and #OralHistory. I am currently overseeing two projects funded by the NL #HeritageFund here in the UK:

Stories on the Estate a community led history of the Twinbrook housing estate in Belfast.

Our Stories - Our Times an oral history of the British Red Cross' work in Northern Ireland from the Troubles to today.

I've got background projects going on #colonial #Sydney, early C20th Belfast #museology, and amateur #football in Belfast. I haven't much connection back to the heritage sector in Aus and am looking to Mastodon to bridge that.
