Reciprocal Research Network

The Reciprocal Research Network (RRN) is a technology-supported network enabling collaboration between geographically dispersed users from First Nations communities and cultural and academic institutions. Partners in the development of the RRN include the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, the Musqueam Indian Band, the Stó:lo Nation / Tribal Council, and the U'mista Cultural Society.

The RRN promotes a community-based approach to museum research by facilitating cross-cultural knowledge exchange between community and institutional researchers. The network will use innovative technology to provide access to objects, images and knowledge while accommodating indigenous rights to traditional knowledge and protecting culturally sensitive knowledge. The goal of the network is to make cultural items available to originating communities and to foster new collaborative relationships in cultural heritage research.
