The opening slot at the International Symposium Missionary Activities and East Asian Collections | 20. 5. 2021


PAGODE – Europeana China is a project aiming to aggregate, curate and present Chinese cultural heritage preserved in Europe through a rich user experience and engagement with Europeana, the European Digital Library. Several of the collections to be digitized and published in the framework of the project include or are comprised entirely of objects collected and brought back by missionaries who were stationed in China. The roundtable participants will first briefly present these collections and then discuss the various questions related to the preservation, study, interpretation and display of objects with such provenance.
