Colonial Collections Hub

Welcome to the Colonial Collections data hub! The goal of the project is making datasets from archives and museums more transparent. The datasets will contain data that contributes to provenance research of objects collected in the colonial period. Opacity is considered as any hindrance that limits users in accessing data.

Against Opacity is the Dutch Consortium for the return of objects collected within colonial contexts and the question of trust, transparency and access. The Consortium consists of: Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (RCE), Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, NIOD, Bronbeek Museum, National Museum of World Cultures.
