The Working Papers "Reworking the Archives" are published jointly by the Museum Rietberg, Dr. Michaela Oberhofer, and the University of Zurich/Department of History, Prof. Dr. Gesine Krüger. The Himmelheber Working Papers present research results from the SNSF-funded project "Object - Text - Image. Entangled knowledge production in Hans Himmelheber's archive between African art, anthropology and the global market" (2018-2023) and from the BAK-funded cooperation and exhibition project "Shared cultural heritage and knowledge between Switzerland (Museum Rietberg) and Côte d'Ivoire" (2025-2026).
In addition, there are ongoing articles by scholars from cultural anthropology, art history, history and other disciplines dealing with archives, African art and knowledge production. The articles are published online and open access in English, French and German and are peer-reviewed.
