What is it?
Ọkpan is a platform for reconnecting dispersed collections. Import artefact records from any source, enrich them with situated knowledge such as Indigenous designations, oral histories, and cultural context, and publish a unified catalogue that brings a scattered collection back together, wherever the objects themselves remain.
Bring in artefact records from spreadsheets, JSON files, museum databases exports. Ọkpan adapts to the data you already have, however incomplete or inconsistent it is.
