@Chondraki @19Averil I completely see your point, but also acknowledge that several tweeters from South Sudan have felt that this material is, in many ways, hidden.

[SouthSudanMuseumNet @SSudanMuseums]

A little help! We are trying to confirm the title of a multi-authored book about the significance of heritage in South Sudan and objects from South Sudan in museums. Which do you prefer (click the image)?

[SouthSudanMuseumNet @SSudanMuseums]

@Chondraki @19Averil I don’t want to go with this for several reasons. But it is divisive in a revealing way. Some ppl responded feeling ‘hidden’ is an accurate description. Whether something is ‘hidden’ or not depends on where you are looking from.

@SurvoftheDopest @Jibberjabba Thank you both, this is good feedback. The part after the colon will be a subheading. It’s hard to get right!

[SouthSudanMuseumNet @SSudanMuseums]

@InbalHarding I’ve been thinking about ‘recovering’ more in the sense of recovering value or connections...but You’re it’s more likely to be read as ‘discovery’. Hmm. Think we are closest with no 3 but still some more tinkering

[SouthSudanMuseumNet @SSudanMuseums]

@AndyCroy Agree, don’t want to imply ‘discovery’ but I think ‘Hidden’ has the same implication, so is not right either

Must read by David Mwambari and Arthur Owor on the effect of money in producing knowledge in post-conflict contexts and how this restricts independent local research. https://t.co/7YzjFvyFhu

@petermartell one way of looking at it, but the presence of these objects in museums is also a result of war and disruption. Cuts both ways

@SSudanMuseums currently working on the collection of an agricultural scientist affiliated with UoK called Roger Brain working in Torit in 1954, @HornimanMuseum . Curious to know whether any collecting was done by people involved in the Jonglei Investigation?
