The Reanimating Cultural Heritage exhibition marks the culmination of the Reanimating Cultural Heritage project and the launch of the www.sierraleoneheritage.org digital heritage resource. Led by Dr Paul Basu, Reader in Material Culture and Museum Studies at University College London, the project has been concerned with the ‘digital curation’ of Sierra Leonean collections dispersed in different museums, and with exploring the capacity of cultural heritage to contribute to civil society strengthening in the developing world.
