The 2019 article "Leo Sarkisian's 'Music Time in Africa': U-M archivist, anthropologist revive popular Voice of America show" includes an example of digital reparations, which I think is worth remembering.
Scholars are asking, 'What should you give back to the people?' Our answer has become to return the music to communities by rebroadcasting the programs using the technologies of the internet as a form of 'digital repatriation,' which involves returning an aspect of cultural heritage in a digital format to the communities from which they originated.This article includes a short video about the project.
This is likely different than how you might think about digital reparations, which leads me to the question...
What does digital reparations mean to you?
