Reveal and Connect

Reveal and Connect projects are collaborative and relate to African and Caribbean collections held in museums across Scotland. These projects also form part of our strategic work to address and examine colonial histories and legacies across our collections.

Last updated: 5 October 2026

About the project

Our collaborative projects relating to African and Caribbean collections held in museums across Scotland included an initial collections review, a Caribbean natural sciences material review, and a participatory practice project. Our work continues to establish and build on a network of interests to encourage engagement with these collections.

The work has had three distinct strands, with legacy projects building on the ambitious initial collections review.
