"[I]n an age where cultural heritage is central to issues of progress and justice, museums have an obligation to educate the public not only on the history represented by the artifacts but also the nuances of the origins of the artifacts themselves."

I’m delighted to see this new review of #belitungbook - thank you @pkhardy.bsky.social for sharing, and Joanna Ellis for your great analysis and kind words! @nuspress.bsky.social
If you’re at #WAC10 in Darwin, come along to the joint international book launch from 12-1pm Tuesday 24 June in Danala foyer to get your signed copy of #BelitungBook. Yep, it’ll be chaos with lunch being served in the same place & location (🙈) so come ready to brave the crowds @nuspress.bsky.social
I'm a slow adopter but finally here, hi everyone👋🌊 I'm a scholar @sydneyuni.bsky.social working on maritime heritage diplomacy and sunken warships in Southeast Asia. My previous project was on the controversial 9th C Belitung #shipwreck: #BelitungBook (Uni of Hawai'i Press & @nuspress.bsky.social)
So grateful for this latest, amazing, review of #BelitungBook, described as "the product of impressive scholarship" and "an intricate combination of an historical detective story and a challenge to orthodox views about how maritime heritage should be managed".
