Data Sovereignty, Cultural Heritage & CARE in service of FAIR

These are the slide and speaker notes from one of the 45 network participants on the 3-year IMLS grant funded project "Advancing FAIR +CARE Practices in Cultural Heritage". The FAIR+CARE Cultural Heritage Network established by this project is a collaborative structure to support the communication and coordination of FAIR+CARE-related practices across disciplinary, organizational, divisional, and geographic boundaries. The network brings a balance of synergistic strengths from libraries, cultural resource management firms, data repositories and publishers, museums, agency and regulatory representatives, professional societies, academic organizations or projects curating and reusing synthesized data, educators, and Tribal nations. This talk will provide information about the FAIR + CARE network, and report on the progress of the project, thus far. The first survey conducted produced more questions and highlighted the complexities of advancing digital data governance models that are important for archiving cultural heritage data. Learn about the next phases of this work and how this next phase plans to encourage meaningful and ethical collaborations for archiving Indigenous Knowledge.
