The class is on visual resource management. The assignment is to critical review existing ltierature to support my position or argument based on a solid understanding of the topic. This is my thesis: The digitization of archival materials in a postcolonial era introduces complexities in the faithful representation and interpretation of diverse histories within visual resource management. This research delves into the challenges posed by digitized archives, examining initiatives like enhanced metadata, keywords, and finding aids that extend to visual materials. The study also explores efforts to standardize vocabulary to sensitively address culturally nuanced visual content. By scrutinizing the dynamics of managing visual resources within digital archives, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the intersection of visual resource management, digital archives, postcolonial perspectives, and the pursuit of more inclusive historical narratives.
