[IT-10054] Can Data be Cultured? Cultural Awareness in Museum Data - Learning Resource (01 Sep 2021)

Description
Museum collections data are not simply technical records—they capture relationships between people, specimens, collection items, places, events, and knowledge systems. This course helps museum professionals develop practical skills for creating, managing, and sharing collections data that are scientifically robust, historically contextualized, ethically informed, and useful for diverse audiences. Across five interactive modules, participants progressively develop competencies in language, self-awareness, systems thinking, communication, and applied decision-making through discussions, reflection, and authentic museum case studies. The curriculum emphasizes that improving collections data is both a technical and human-centered practice that supports responsible stewardship.
