The research network DiViAS brings together scientific methods and practices of digitizing, researching and representing collection items from colonial contexts. The project systematically combines expertise from the fields of museum-, history- and cultural studies with that of technology and computer science – such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), data analysis, geoinformatics and threedimensional measurement technology. The project is funded by the VolkswagenStiftung’s ”zukunft.niedersachsen” program.
