Hi Cathryn,

Yes, I did! The broad history of repatriation is included in specific sections of my page, especially in nation-to-nation and the Indigenous sections, but record repatriation really comes out of the history of war, colonization and decolonization, and human rights movements. I went for breaking things up by topic and types of repatriation instead of a historical overview because I felt looking at it from a historical development angle would end up missing a lot of nuance. If you want to know more about its history very, very broadly, I found this article super helpful:
