Interested in musuems and data and doing things ethically and how these things all impact each other? Then come see me speak about skulls and tattooed skin at the Digital Humanities and Materiality seminar tomorrow (March 5) www.sas.ac.uk/news-events/...
Skulls, skin and names: The ethics of managing heritage collections data online
This discussion will highlight the ethical challenges of managing the digitised images and records of materials which, for ethical reasons, are no longer shown in galleries.
