Data for Cultural Preservation with LeRonn P Brooks

Episode notes

Properly archiving cultural history is essential to the spotlighting of marginalised voices from the past. But how do you go about preserving this data for generations to come? LeRonn P Brooks is Associate Curator for Modern and Contemporary Collections at Getty Research Institute, which recently acquired the entire back catelogue of the legendary Jet and Ebony magazines. The collection at Getty “is regarded as one of the most significant and substantial collections of Black American culture in the 20th century.” We discuss LeRonn’s deep personal connection to his work, communicating data points through storytelling and the human stories behind the data points, and what it means to be a protagonist in the history of art. 00:00 - Intro 01:53 - What does it mean to preserve the stories of the past? 11:07 - LeRonn’s long road to Getty 18:37 - How do we use cultural data points to tell new stories? 22:47 - Dan's final thoughts LINKS: LeRonn Brooks: Getty Research Institute: Dan Klein: Zühlke: Welcome to Data Today, a podcast from Zühlke.
