Mukurtu CMS: Differential Access for the Ethical Stewardship of Cultural and Digital Heritage

Date: June 9, 2015, 2:45 – 5 PM

Join us at NAMSI 2015! In this workshop, participants will learn the history of Mukurtu CMS and how it may be a good fit for your own projects. We will explore Mukurtu’s features and functions that empower communities, cultural memory institutions, and individuals to define, preserve and cultivate digital heritage in their own terms, maintaining control over rich media and their associated metadata. Participants will see examples of Mukurtu in use in indigenous communities emphasizing preservation strategies, cultural protocols and the use of traditional knowledge licenses and labels as part of our expansive toolkit.
