What we're seriously lacking is knowledge about the inclusive description practices that are followed in non-Western heritage organisations. Perhaps it is because of a language barrier, but almost all resources on the CHTNUK website are from Europe, North America, Australia, and Aotearoa (New Zealand). We can't ignore this bias. #critcat #GLAM

A friend recently informed me about The Second Glance, an instalment of information cards at the Bode-Museum Berlin that provide an alternative queer-feminist discourse, encouraging visitors to interrogate the museum’s permanent exhibition (without physically changing the displays themselves). Currently there are two instalments: "All Forms of Love" and "Women". #critcat #museums https://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/bode-museum/exhibitions/the-second-glance/

Also new to me today in #critcat initiatives is Provisional Semantics, part of the larger Towards a National Collection project https://www.tate.org.uk/about-us/projects/provisional-semantics

I have just encountered Oxfam's Inclusive Language Guide for the charity sector which was published in March 2023! #critcat #inclusivelanguage #metadata https://views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2023/03/launch-inclusive-language-guide/

Excited to start building the CHTNUK community! Please welcome @JaneDaniels1 to Mastodon and give her a follow if you're interested in #critcat #metadata #inclusivedescription #cataloguing #cataloging #heritage #archives #libraries #museums #GLAM

Violet Fox's latest issue of Critcatenate (a collated list of *new* #critcat resources) is out! I am working to also list these projects on CHTNUK's resources page but Critcatenate is the place to go if you're looking for upcoming events related to inclusive #metadata.

As a British person studying in Hawai'i I am constantly switching between British and American English, but nothing irritates me more than "cataloguing/cataloging". When searching for resources or adding tags I always forget to include both variations🤦🏽‍♀️#critcat

Working as a Decolonising Description Consultant with People's Collection Wales has been a highlight this summer! It's been eye-opening to recognise the potential of people-led archives and an interesting challenge to think about the practical steps that can be taken to help the public write more inclusive metadata themselves, both retrospectively and going forward. #critcat #archives #inclusivedescription #metadata

The language that we choose when creating terminology guidance or DEI resources also matters! I created a wordbank that helps me to think carefully about what I'm trying to say. Feel free to add your own suggestions! #critcat #inclusivedescription #metadata #heritage #museums #libraries #archives #dei https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0bkmeGYt1SX_GMbAwX_AMZ1oYX9pxRvXZxDlJQTTzI/edit?usp=sharing

The four flowcharts for the creation of advisory notices and subject indexes that I drafted with the Glasgow School of Art Library are now available on Google Drive #critcat #inclusivedescription #metadata #libraries https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KHJ9Cxp9YbAEPMOpZ2kL-TLALrGNf0Yy?usp=sharing
