Provenance Research on Collections from Colonial Contexts: Principles, Approaches, Challenges

Claudia Andratschke, Lars Müller, Katja Lembke (Hrsg.)  

Der Band versammelt die Beiträge der gleichnamigen internationalen Konferenz, die im Juni 2021 in der Leibniz Universität Hannover veranstaltet wurde. Die Konferenz wurde von dem am Landesmuseum Hannover koordinierten Verbundprojekt „Provenienzforschung zu außereuropäischen Sammlungen und der Ethnologie in Niedersachsen“ (PAESE) geplant. Ziel war es, Akteur*innen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zusammenzubringen, um Fragen, Methoden und (vorläufige) Ergebnisse im Bereich der Provenienzforschung zu Sammlungsgut aus kolonialen Kontexten zu diskutieren.
