Wish my brain would stop thinking "I'll just look up another 16th/17th century testament (will and/or inventory) to study in ScotlandsPeople" when the website is still down! Hope it comes back ok after latest upgrade / revamp. And hope it's not as disastrous as some other website revamps inc SP. #HistoricalResearch #ScottishHistory #Scotland #History #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #ScotlandsPeople #website #websites #16thCentury #17thCentury #SixteenthCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Wills #Inventories

#Europe has #stolen #Africa’s #heritage. Will justice prevail?

The #collections of the world’s most famous #museums largely consist of #African #artifacts looted during the #colonial era. As of today, less than one percent has been returned to Africa

In the course of wars and the #colonization of Africa, Western countries were involved in looting hundreds of thousands of objects of African art. #Museums were used by #governments to contribute to the establishment of #colonialism and to #legitimize conquests.

A report prepared by #French #art #historian Benedicte Savoy and #Senegalese #economist Felwine Sarr, commissioned by the French government in 2018, states that between 90% and 95% of Africa’s material #cultural legacy is housed outside of the African continent. Meanwhile, the #inventories of Africa’s national #museums barely exceed 3,000 cultural objects.

Almost all African countries lost their most important cultural artifacts during the era of #European exploration and subsequent #colonization. The objects that remained in Africa had less #historic and cultural value than the ones that were brought to European museums. Over the past several decades, the West has repeatedly received #restitution claims from African countries.

Agenda 2063 – Africa’s long-term development plan, which was adopted by the African Union in 2015 – has identified the protection of cultural #heritage as one of the continent’s main priorities. According to this framework document, all African cultural property should be returned to the continent by 2025. But will this ambitious plan be realized?

Happy to be sitting up doing some more old document reading. And thank goodness again for easy colour/balance graphics processing software to make it more readable! Here a testament testamentar (Scottish will and inventory) from 1648. #HistoricalResearch #ScottishHistory #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Will #Wills #Inventory #Inventories #Testament #Testaments #Palaeography #GraphicsProcessing #GraphicSoftware

A side by side view of a document, on the left in its original pale contrast difficult to read state. On the right the same document has been colour and balance adjusted, to be much clearer to see. Though still very scribbly 17th century handwriting!
