Mediale Aufbereitung und Vermittlung des nationalen Kulturschatzes aus der ‘Hoffmann-Kolletion de Nord-Sotho-Kulturerbes’ für die Öffentlichkeit und Fachwissenschaft in Deutschland und Südafrika
The top priority of this project is to recognise the Hoffmann Collection as a national treasure and to safeguard it not only for scientific use, but also for the Northern Sotho people themselves. The project further envisages the opening up of this collection for future research, especially for African scholars with the necessary African language competency; the repatriation of this endangered cultural heritage from Germany to South Africa through the use of new technology such as scanning, digitization and electronic media; and the collecting and dissemination of available – as well as newly accumulated research data for future research.
