Museums and Language Preservation

A great story on CMA board member:

Joshua A. Bell, an anthropologist with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., told cultural heritage preservation professionals and graduate students that those in institutions that collect objects have obligations to not only to the objects but also to the societies in which the objects originated. Bell made the remarks as a panelist at an April 10, 2010 conference hosted by the Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies program of the Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences at the University’s New Brunswick, New Jersey campus.
