The actual report can also be found directly via DOI here: Cataloguing the ‘Oriental’ in MoDA’s Silver Studio Collection doi.org/10.22023/mdx.2408133…

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: collectionstrust.org.uk/blog…

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 ow.ly/wiZj50PP4JJ

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 moda.mdx.ac.uk/a-place-we-ca…

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: moda.mdx.ac.uk/2023/02/14/wi…
