Potential sources

Hi Allison, Are you familiar with Elazar Barkan? He's written about the restitution of cultural property with a public policy/amending injustice focus. So far as I remember he doesn't write about records, specifically, but a lot of the bigger ideas (identity, rightful ownership etc) related to cultural property and museums are obviously directly transferrable.

Barkan, Elazar. "Amending Historical Injustice." In Claiming the stones/naming the bones : cultural property and the negotiation of national and ethnic identity. Elazar Barkan and Ronald Bush, eds. Los Angeles: Getty Research Institute, 2002. Barkan, Elazar. The guilt of nations : restitution and negotiating historical injustices. New York: Norton, 2000.

If not for the Wiki, interesting reads to tuck away for later. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of your page fleshes out!

whoops! wrong Al(l)ison : ) I should check the spelling next time

It is very confusing online. Sometimes people just don't count the Ls so you never know. I get emails to "Alison" all the time.

Hi Amy, My answer is the same as Alison's anyway! I'm not familiar, but after checking out the bib record for the book it looks super interesting. After skimming the book chapter, I think his perspective would definitely at least add another dimension to my nation-to-nation section. Thanks for the suggestion! Allison

And I have already incorporated him! Great suggestion, thank you!

So glad you found him useful!
