Research Nights: Asterisk*
Join us for the first public presentation of The Asterisk*, a tool devised by the Collecting Otherwise Working Group that responds to the need for a more thorough, critical and contextualized way of describing objects in archives. Join researchers Hannah Dawn Henderson, Winston Nanlohy and Alfred Marasigan as they reflect on their archiving practices.
31 October 2024 18:00 - 20:30
The Asterisk* focuses on underexposed collection items, highlighting previously untold stories: the more information about a particular object is added, the more likely it is to be seen by researchers and other audiences, moving institutions toward greater accessibility and diversity in heritage preservation.
