Brilliant work encouraging museums, private collectors, and government to repatriate African ancestral remains.

Ancestors deserve care.

Report recommendations include need to map the collections of ancestral remains’. HAD has worked on this space in our Your Local Museum project & Open Heritage Map.

HAD welcomes calls for ‘a public consultation on the proposal to collectively bury and memorialise orphaned ancestors in the UK’

A recent Guardian article on respect for human remains brought to Britain under colonialism has brought our attention to a key All Party Parliamentary Committee Report.

HAD is keen to follow up with @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social and the authors of this important report to explore areas of synergy.

This is so helpful, thank you! Although we aren’t a museum, we’d love to be included in your starter pack as an organisation involved in museums & heritage? Thanks for considering 😊
