How does material culture become data? Why does this matter, and
for whom? As the cultures of Indigenous peoples in North America
were mined for scientific knowledge, years of organizing,
classifying, and cataloguing hardened into accepted categories,
naming conventions, and tribal affiliations – much of it wrong.
Cataloguing Culture examines how colonialism has operated through
the technologies of museum bureaucracy: the ledger book, the card
catalogue, and eventually the database. As Indigenous communities
reclaim what is theirs, this timely work shines a light on the
importance of documentation for access to and return of cultural
heritage.
