Wedge Collection: digitising a significant overseas artefact collection with Indigenous protocols

Carrying on the productive discussions initiated at the GLAMorous Humanities, and being reminded of the collecting and cultural archiving that has been carried out in regional settings as well as in major centres of Australia, the Australian Consortium of Humanities Research Centre (ACHRC) plans to bring together the energies of its two main member initiatives – Humanities in the Regions and Collaborating with Collecting and Cultural Institutions – for a joint meeting. Scheduled for May 10-11, 2018, and co-hosted by UTAS’ Centre for Colonialism and its Aftermath (CAIA) at its Launceston campus, this will be an exciting event showcasing best-practice achievements and innovations across these two initiatives, but focusing in particular on exploring some of the rich synergies apparent between them.
