23 August is International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

This early 19th century bible from the Euing collection held by the University's Archives & Special Collections is unlikely to capture the attention of most casual viewers. However, this is one of only three known copies of what is colloquially known as The Slave Bible, which was created specifically to be used by enslaved people. Sinisterly, certain chapters and verses were excluded, often those dealing with enslavement and liberation from oppression.

The Slave Bible is a compelling illustration of how the rights of enslaved people were suppressed. When confronted with the uncomfortable significance of this edition, the importance of ensuring its availability for teaching and research was recognised. As its condition was poor, and liable to worsen, it was agreed conservation was essential.

With conservation and digitisation now complete it is expected to be on loan as part of an exhibition at Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht in early 2023.

15 September is International Day of Democracy.

The Hunterian has been involved in a process of Curating Discomfort; looking closely at the collections and our shared histories to understand and transform our role in the University, in Glasgow and in Scotland.

The Hunterian invited a group of six people to form the Community Curators group ? Arunima Bhattacharya, Churnjeet Mahn, Esraa Husain, Mary Osei-Oppong, Nelson Cummins and Yvonne Blake.

They are from different geographical backgrounds and have been in Glasgow for different lengths of time. They are academics, community activists, social justice campaigners and educators. They speak to the work of Curating Discomfort as individuals with different interests and priorities.

Over six months, bringing together their individual practice, knowledge and expertise, they operated as a community to curate an intervention in the Museum, establishing new models and narratives around the collection.

October is Black History Month.

At Archives & Special Collections, we have been examining the role of metadata in our anti-racism, inclusion and diversity work.

Our aim is to have descriptions of our collections which aid discovery, are accurate, respectful and inclusive. A pilot project reviewed several descriptions to uncover those which include problematic, culturally insensitive, or offensive terminology.

From this, we have developed robust procedures for the revision of our collection descriptions in line with sector best practice. Our systems allow us to fully capture, and be transparent, about those changes which make our descriptions more inclusive.

An example of our work is in the revision of the content description for the Relazione del Viaggio da Malta alle Spagne nel Anno 1701. Our previous description included a racially insensitive term; this has been removed from the main content description. However, to be transparent, the original description has been retained, with a content warning for the offensive terminology.
