Title
Can Data be Cultured? Systems
Description
Museum collections are managed within systems such as policies, standards, databases, and workplace practices. This module explores how these systems influence the information we record and share. You'll learn how processes, priorities, power, people, and perspectives shape collections data, and consider practical ways to recognize bias and improve systems for both researchers and the communities represented in collections.
