Coming February 2022

What is the role that technological innovation plays in respectful exchanges of knowledge between researchers and communities? This Asia-Pacific Innovation Project examines the need for co-creative partnerships in digital repatriation, its practices and relationships.

The ANUBhasha Project “Textual Digitization and Repatriation” extends our research conducted under the 2021 Flagship Identity & Ways of Knowing. It will forge connections between the needs of cultural communities, the technologies involved in digital repatriation, and the contribution of scholars to an open sharing of knowledge. It will also produce case-usage studies that bring these connections to life in the context of our scholarly work and engagement with South Asian communities. These demonstrate the impact and cultural value of digital text and repatriation endeavours and establish a functional model for this work to be pursued on a larger scale.
