Wednesday, 05.06.24, Track 3.1 - Digitisation of university collections

• Inhalt ausklappen Inhalt einklappen 09.00 - 10.15 Unifying Hesse's Historical Heritage: Creating a Shared Data Space (DE)

  Over the past two years, as part of the digitisation strategy of the state of Hesse, a central database system has been established for five cultural heritage institutions. This system aims to make information on more than 2 million collection objects accessible to the staff of all five institutions, thereby facilitating collaborative work with these extensive collections. In addition to enhancing cooperation among departments, a key goal of the project is to enable the transfer of information to third parties in various file and data formats. The main challenge lies in the diversity of the collections' subject areas and the wide variety of database systems and data models used. To meet all requirements under the given conditions, the system was implemented using the collection management system easyDB by Programmfabrik GmbH, Berlin, due to its great flexibility in data model design and import/export procedures. Currently, we are working on the next expansion stage, which is specifically intended to support the management of collection objects from contexts of injustice. For this purpose, an extension of the database system is being planned to specifically capture information on the objects' histories. This extension is currently being developed as a graph database to enable the most effective analysis and reuse of the information.

• Inhalt ausklappen Inhalt einklappen 10.30 - 11.45 Challenges in digitization of cultural and natural history collections (DE)

  Organizing collection information from shared collection histories, which is used as research data from different disciplines, in museums is a particular challenge. The special requirements of the specific disciplines can best be met with special applications. However, the common contexts and workflows of a museum suggest that the data should be integrated as closely as possible. We would like to discuss how we meet this challenge at the Übersee Museum.

• Inhalt ausklappen Inhalt einklappen 12.30 - 13.45 Decolonial collection cataloguing? - Broadening perspectives in provenance data fields and the role of Linked Open Data in the decolonial cataloguing of collection items from colonial contexts (DE)

  Cooperative provenance research on cultural goods from colonial contexts poses major challenges for database-based documentation practice.
  - Which data fields in the digital recording of individual objects in context-sensitive collections document colonial provenance?
  - How can the perspectives of representatives of societies of origin be documented?
  - How do context-sensitive collections become sensitive provenance data? How sensitive are LOD links?
  
  In this talk, the results of the cooperative development of the CCC (Collections from Colonial Contexts) data field catalogue in LIDO for the central CCC online portal in the German Digital Library will be presented and tested for their applicability in the MuseumPlus and the PAESE database. Our final aim is to identify future fields of action for decolonial collection cataloguing together with the attendees.

  In Marburg there is Luise-Berthold-Straße, Hermann-Jacobsohn-Weg and Wilhelm-Röpke-Straße. Who are these streets named after and how can I find information about these people? What role did the Marburg Medical Faculty play under National Socialism? What research was carried out in "my" subject" at Philipps University between 1933 and 1945? If you are interested in these questions or are planning a research project on Marburg University under National Socialism, come along and browse digitally through the past. Central access points and collections on university history will be presented, which you can explore digitally. You can share your wishes and needs in a direct conversation and receive tips and support on where you can do further research.
