@Jill_L_Stewart Ooh, nice! Don’t think we have any relevant info though…

The actual report can also be found directly via DOI here: Cataloguing the ‘Oriental’ in MoDA’s Silver Studio Collection https://t.co/McI5Uw5yXp

I'm hopeful that our research on 'Cataloguing the 'Oriental'' will continue to be useful beyond the museum. You can still find it as a resource via
@CollectionTrust here: https://t.co/g1PPd43bx9

[The Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture @MoDAMuseum]

Thanks to everyone expressing sympathy/solidarity for staff. We don't yet know what will happen to the collections, other than to reassure you that our professional task now is to find new and appropriate home(s) for everything.

Obviously there are a LOT of things we could say abut this, but we'll let you digest the news first...

Collections Manager @woodward_sian finds Kirsty Kerr's report 'Cataloguing the 'Oriental' in MoDA's Collection' a valuable resource to inspire ethical cataloguing practices across the sector. #ItsGoodToShare #RethinkingCataloguing

The power of naming matters. @kirstyjkerr 's second post on cataloguing the 'Oriental' within MoDA's collection reflects on questions of power and representation in collections-related museum information #DecolonizeMuseums #RethinkingCataloguing https://t.co/cUrMRa0QYk

Meet @KirstyJKerr, a Masters student on the New Museum School Advanced Programme run by @cultureand_ and @LeicsMusStud, as she dives deep into the complexities of the term 'Oriental' and its implications within MoDA's collection. 🧐 #DecolonizeMuseums https://t.co/YWOXKJxcis

There's a lot about artificial intelligence in the news, but have you ever wondered how museums might use AI?

It's #WorldOceansDay and we are featuring #katagami stencils depicting the Great Wave. Turbulent water is often used as a metaphor for difficulties. The 2nd includes floating gourds, travelling with seeds, representing triumph over adversity. #OceansMW

The topic of the day for #MuseumWeek2023 is #food! We hold books and ephemera related to the kitchen, home appliances and cooking. This blog by Alice Naylor is a kind of ‘micro-history’ of domestic life in post war Britain #MWfood https://t.co/YkI894sfpN

Museums try to keep up with technology, deciding which tools will allow people more engaging access to collections. MoDA hasn't tried NFTs or VR yet, but we do use APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to share collections on our website and others: https://t.co/we4jtYxBdZ
