Ugh, if they come for the museums I might actually have to chain myself to something.

'Museums and other cultural and educational institutions should stop the public display of African ancestral remains, a parliamentary policy briefing has said.
Commissioned by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Afrikan Reparations, the Laying Ancestors to Rest report addresses the ethical, cultural and historical concerns surrounding African ancestral remains, many of which were taken during colonial rule.'

Relatedly: if anyone you know needs some extra help with equitable evaluation or research projects (data collection, analysis, study design) or strategic planning, I'd greatly appreciate contacts or connections!
My website has a sampling of my previous collaborators - mostly in the glam and nonprofit sector. I'm most proud + humbled that I learned from and worked with the Equitable Evaluation Initiative, and I'd like to put that to work!

Trove API users beware! I had a meeting with the NLA on Friday about my cancelled API keys and was shocked by changes in their policy towards API use that could have a big impact of HASS research using #Trove data. More details: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/03/02/trove-api-users-beware-the.html Please share! #GLAM #histodons @histodons #digitalHumanities
updates.timsherratt.org · Trove API users beware! – the latest in the saga of my cancelled API keysAfter my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning on 21 February, I reluctantly agreed to a meeting with the National Library of Australia. They had provided so little information in their emails, that it seemed to be the only way to find out what was really going on. I came out of the meeting shocked by the NLA’s change in attitude towards API use.
TL;DR – you’re probably breaching the API terms of use All Trove API users need to be aware that the NLA now insists that accessing the ‘content’ of resources, rather than just the descriptive metadata, is a breach of the API terms of use.

Help! On Friday the National Library of Australia suspended my Trove API keys, threatening 15 year's work helping researchers use & understand Trove. If you use my tools or value my work you might like to let the NLA know.

updates.timsherratt.org · 15 years of work on Trove threatened by the NLAOn Friday, without warning, I received an email from the National Library of Australia informing me that my Trove API keys had been suspended. This threatens the future of 15 years of work helping people use and understand the possibilities of Trove for new types of research.
What’s happened? Here’s the full text of the email:
Your recently published work on the GLAM Workbench regarding extracting metadata and text from a National e-Deposit (NED) periodical has been brought to the Library’s attention.
@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaHi #LGBTQIA+,
I like long-form content on YouTube, and watch through FreeTube because it has no ads and sponsors, and I'm looking for some female creators to watch.
As someone exploring my fluid identity, I'd love recommendations for creators who cater to women, and LGBTQ+ creators are a big plus!
While acknowledging the capitalist nature of it all, I find that female-created content resonates with my own journey of femininity and gender fluidity.
These are some of the creators I'm currently into, to help you understand my taste:

For #FreeCADFriday I've been doing a tiny bit of experimenting with the RNIB's braille font in FreeCAD to see how easy it would be to create the sort of "cards" that Dr Alex Ball has been making for his visually-impaired @museuminabox
Initial experiments look promising.
Calling #librarians and #GLAM-experts who would be up to advise @SafeguardingResearch:
We are designing a dataset catalogue for sharing data using torrents. It needs to be as simple as possible but no simpler. We need review of our metadata schema by an expert to make sure we haven't missed essential things.

Alaka Wali and Tom Skwerski (eds.), "The Future is Indigenous: Stories from the new Native North America Hall at the Field Museum" (2024)
An open-access book covering the 4-year renovation of the Native North American Hall at Chicago's Field Museum. Partnership with #Indigenous peoples "was a central focus...

www.fulcrum.orgThe Future is Indigenous: Stories from the new Native North America Hall at the Field MuseumIn 2018, the Field Museum embarked on a four-year renovation of its Native North American Hall. Partnership with the Native American community was a central focus of this project, culminating in the new permanent exhibition, Native Truths: Our Voices, Our Stories. This book examines the collaborative journey of the exhibition, presenting perspectives on its major themes and the processes by which it was created. The contributors, including members of the exhibition’s Native American Advisory Committee, offer a transformative perspective on museum curation, highlighting the shift towards practice which involves and honors Indigenous communities. The text is enriched by personal accounts from Indigenous artists and community members, and showcases visual highlights from the exhibition installations.

"Broken glass: accidental beauty in the Library’s photographic collection:
Digitisation, while often making material more accessible, is also a means of recording an object’s last gasp, not just as an image frozen in time, but also as a deteriorating physical form."
blogs.slv.vic.gov.auState Library Victoria Broken glass: accidental beauty in the Library’s photographic collectionWe are always looking for that perfect image of the past. While often seen as a detriment, broken glass and chemical emulsion damage on early photographic glass plate negatives can have their own particular beauty. Explore a selection of interestingly damaged photographs from the Library's collection.
I like the framing of unnecessary/unjustified copyright claims as 'taxes on research, creativity and knowledge' by @CultureDoug (https://douglasmccarthy.com/presentations/). Probably nothing any #glam instituion can be proud of.
