Responsibilities, Ethics, and Access webinar

The Local Contexts team will present as part of the Creative Commons webinar, “Responsibilities, Ethics, and Access: A Conversation with the Authors of Guidance for Indigenous Collections and Indigenous Data” on September 1. 

This conversation will focus on the forthcoming Guidance for Indigenous Collections and Indigenous Data, a resource developed by Local Contexts and Creative Commons. 

During this webinar, we’ll discuss how cultural institutions can apply practical, community-centered approaches to Indigenous collections while balancing openness with respect for Indigenous protocols, consent, and control.
