This dataset (comprised of a spreadsheet and accompanying documentation) was created in 2021 as part of a project to assemble data on the representation of Botswanan collections in UK-based memory institutions. Dataset creation was led by by Elvira Thomas as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded “Making African Connections” project (makingafricanconnections.org), with support from team members at the University of Sussex (James Baker, Nicola Stylianou) and project partners in Botswana (Scobie Lekhuthile and Gase Kediseng from the Khama III Memorial Museum and Winani Thebele from the Botswana National Museum). The research was funded by the University of Sussex.
