A Heritage Dialogue and Museum Care Workshop was held on July 28, 2025, a collaborative effort between Bukidnon State University (BukSU) Bukidnon Studies Center and the University of Michigan (UM) to strengthen cultural ties and foster reparative connections within the community.
Dr. Joy M. Mirasol, President of BukSU, emphasized the university’s role in safeguarding indigenous heritage and the workshop’s significance in enhancing museum care and ethical handling of artifacts.
The workshop brought together students from across Bukidnon to learn from experts from the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library and Museum of Anthropological Archaeology. The initiative is part of the larger ReConnect/ReCollect project, which works to repair historical harm in colonial collections.
A key session on Basic Collections Management and Care was led by Jim Moss of UM, who covered museum conservation principles, environmental control, and practical storage solutions. Students gained hands-on knowledge of how to care for artifacts, a crucial skill for preserving Bukidnon’s rich heritage.
Presenters from the Bentley Historical Library, Alexis Antracoli and Gideon Goodrich, discussed the importance of reparative description. They explained how community feedback from projects like ReConnect/ReCollect helps them improve the accuracy and inclusivity of their historical records, which often reflect colonial perspectives.
The BukSU Studies Center, a driving force behind the partnership, has a mission to nourish Bukidnon’s cultural heritage. This workshop supports their ongoing efforts, which include a radio program and children’s books promoting local culture.
This collaborative event not only provided students and faculty with practical skills but also highlighted the importance of cultural protocol and community consultation in preservation efforts, fostering a shared commitment to ethical stewardship of colonial collections.
