Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.

Second day of #eHeritage2023: Fewer presentations, more discussion. Much food for thought in the World Café with exchange on risk management, internationalization and dissemination of #CulturalHeritage digitization. #DigitalHumanities

Now starting: The final conference of the @bmbf_bund #eHeritage funding line at the #DLR in #Bonn. It’s such a nice opportunity to meet again the other eHeritage projects and see what they have done since we met last year. Happy that this time we’re here with the complete #DiGA team. #CulturalHeritage #DigitalHumanities #eHeritage2023

Reading #TheSwerve by #stephengreenblatt and realizing how much the main character Poggio’s mourning for the loss of classical #culturalheritage in #earlymodern 15th century Italy resembles my own mourning for the loss of the Swedish catholic cultural heritage that was crushed by #gustavvasa and the iconoclastic #reformation.

THEFTS EXPOSE BRITISH MUSEUM’S ‘RIDICULOUS’ STANCE ON RETURN OF ARTEFACTS, SAYS MP by David Batty and Mark Brown

"Bell Ribeiro-Addy, the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on Afrikan reparations, believes the 1963 law preventing the return of objects such as the Parthenon marbles and the Benin bronzes should be changed.

The museum has been at the centre of an escalating storm that on Friday led to the resignation of its director, Hartwig Fischer. It followed the revelation that as many as 2,000 items from the museum collection had been found to be “missing, stolen or damaged” and that police were investigating."

Small update from the #DiGA project: The #RuhrUniBochum university library, who kindly hosts our #SKOSMOS instance, took some time to develop a small extension for us. Now the DiGA #Thesaurus of #BuddhistArt displays illustrations of the concepts (where available). This is a big step forward, as having images makes understanding the visual concepts much easier! See e.g. https://w3id.org/diga/terms/1229329640 #DigitalArtHistory #CulturalHeritage #DigitalHumanities

It's about freaking time this totem pole goes home from Edinburgh. Also, was it really necessary to say "The museum believes it acted in good faith" about an object they are repatriating? Really? 🤨 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-66615589 #CulturalHeritage

Dear dictionary, is there a concise, single term that would mean Western hubris AND irony at one and the same time?

FICTIONAL AND FICTIONALISED RELIGIONS AS HERITAGE? REFLECTIONS ON THE OBJECT OF CRITICAL HERITAGE STUDIES by Mathilde van Dijk (International Journal of Heritage Studies, 2023).

#OpenAccess

"Heritage discourses and fictional narratives are not as far from each other as seems obvious. Rather, they operate on a sliding scale. Fans of certain media, whether they become adherents of a fiction-based religion or whether the fictions are meaningful to them in another way, visit the sites in which their favourite series or film were shot, use phrases from their favourite films or series, attend role-playing events and so on and so forth. Some fans do this individually; others gather in communities, on the internet, physically or both. Their favourite fictions become a building block of their identities".

L'Arcone di Piazza della Repubblica a Firenze. È l'immagine migliore che abbia mai visto per osservare la scultura delle Tre Grazie. Questo gruppo scultoreo venne smantellato, si deteriorò molto velocemente nel 1905.

@dta_cthomas @christof Thank you for the link, I will have a look. I intend to dive into Open Data/Big/Small/Structured/Linked Data and so on later in my thesis so I want to define CH data in a broad sense without touching upon what Humanists create (and if they think that they "create/curate" data). I do, however, have a subsection about CH and Humanities Data, so the link is helpful.
