Abstract: This text is a summary of a special issue that explores the themes of collecting, archives, and the commodification of cultural artifacts. The articles within the issue cover a range of topics, including the role of zinc in colonialism, the commodification of the work of illustrator Mario Miranda, and the re-narration of nomadic traders' journeys in Australia. The conclusion reflects on the concept of collectables and the challenges posed by digital morbidity. The special issue was based on a workshop titled "Re-creating Certitude: The Aesthetics of History in Art and Photography Collections in a Transoceanic Perspective." [Extracted from the article]
