Dear colleague,
We would like to invite you to the last three sessions of the online seminar series Ethics
in Action: Working with Sensitive Data from Scientific
Collections<https://winoda.de/en/educational-offers/seminar-series-ethics-in-action/>,
organised by the WiNoDa Knowledge Lab<https://winoda.de/en/english/>. The upcoming
seminar dives into the intersection of digital infrastructure and colonial history for
natural history objects, bringing together expert voices from museums, research
institutions, and communities of origin.
Digital Archive Footprints: Reflections on Digitisation Training and Research at Museum
für Naturkunde Berlin
June 29th, 4:00–5:30 pm CEST
A collaboration between the Milele Museum (Rwanda), The Space Botswana, and SAVVY Kwata
(Cameroon), the project Digital Archive
Footprints<https://themuseumslab.org/en/digital-archive> traces colonial-era
biological collections in German institutions and works with origin communities to
reinterpret and return that knowledge. Hear firsthand reflections on what a hands-on
digitisation training phase at Museum für Naturkunde Berlin revealed — its possibilities,
its limitations, and what it means to work with collections still inaccessible to the
communities they belong to. Digital Archive Footprints is one of the projects selected by
the TheMuseumsLab
CollabFund<https://themuseumslab.org/en/activities/collabfund>nd>,
which is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
