The document discusses establishing an online database of Māori and Moriori taonga (treasures) held in museums outside of New Zealand to make them more accessible. It notes that taonga are held in over 168 institutions in 25 countries. Currently only 57 institutions have put information online about their Māori collections, with only 7,700 records and 3,200 having images. The document discusses learning from similar collaborative projects and outlines next steps to scope the project further and pilot it with 5-6 international museums.
