Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Motivated by the requests from undergraduate indigenous students from Oyapock to access the collection of research I carried out in their villages in the 1990s, I started a project in 2010 to digitize and make this material virtually available. This article intends to reflect on the adventures of this project, conceived as a proposal for data return
through hypermedia. The project encountered a series of difficulties regarding its approval by indigenous communities, which led to the creation of new strategies for making data available as well as to the reflections presented in the article on the nature of anthropological research data, the durability of digitized data, the collective that
desires (or not) its virtual access and, mainly, the relationship between anthropological research and local processes of knowledge transmission and memory production.
