The archival frameworks of digital and web archiving are cogent with colonial epistemology, who sees itself as the sole judge of what knowledge should be, how it should be done, and for what purpose. The practice of web archiving is descendant from Eurocentric academic practice and as a result, the language, philosophies and set of behaviours have carried over to the internet age unchallenged. This is evident in even the lexicon of web archiving itself, the ‘capture’ of a web page is an uncritical utilisation of generations of colonialist fascination with the Other, capturing and storing objects far from their context and without the consent of those subjected to the capture

The International Inventories Programme achieved its technical goals—documenting tens of thousands of displaced cultural objects and making this information accessible to the National Museums of Kenya. But its deeper legacy lies in exposing the limits of institutional solutions to colonial and neo-colonial injustices. True reconciliation requires more than databases and exhibitions; it demands an honest reckoning with both the material and emotional debts of colonialism. The project revealed how restitution debates often serve as diplomatic theatre, allowing Western institutions to appear progressive while maintaining fundamental power imbalances. Until we address the emotional disparity between those who hold these objects and those who lost them, initiatives like IIP can document injustice but cannot heal it.
