The Making African Connections project researches historic African collections held in Sussex and Kent museums, in England, with the aim of furthering both conceptual and applied debates over ‘decolonizing’ public institutions. The project involves research and digitization of 600 objects from three specific Africa colonial-era collections:

• 19th century objects from Botswana held in Brighton Museum from the collection of Rev. William Charles Willoughby and other sources;
• 19th century objects from Sudan, collected in the context of the wars against the Mahdist forces, held at the Royal Engineers Museum, Library and Archive;
• 1930s objects from the Namibia/Angola borderlands held at the Powell-Cotton Museum.

The Making African Connections Digital Archive is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK.
