What are the potential benefits of digital networks and databases that collect
information from different sources – and what are their disadvantages? My
contribution details the Research Reciprocal Network (RRN) and its approach
to sourcing object provenance. The RRN is a collaborative online database
created by the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) in Vancouver, Canada, through
the »A Partnership of Peoples« project. The U’mista Cultural Centre is one of
four co-developers of this groundbreaking online database. Focused on
Northwest Coast museum collections, this research website supports the exchange
of information from traditional knowledge keepers and academics
alike. Users can share information, create discussions, collaboratively write
documents, or upload files regarding specific objects from any particular
partner holding institute. This unique platform facilitates collaboration and
creates easy access to information to a greater audience, benefiting museum
collections and the artefacts’ communities of origin. Provenance is especially
important when speaking about collections of the Pacific Northwest Coast
of British Columbia; mainly because of the way many of these artefacts have
been taken and dispersed around the world. The RRN is a great way to learn
multiple histories of objects from many contributors, but what are the pros
and cons of this platform?
