> When a museum director curates, she collects artifacts, organizes them into groups, sifts out everything but the most interesting or highest-quality items, and shares those collections with the world. When an editor curates poems for an anthology, he does the same thing.
>
> The process can be applied to all kinds of content: A person could curate a collection of articles, images, videos, audio clips, essays, or a mixture of items that all share some common attribute or theme. When we are presented with a list of the "Top 10" anything or the "Best of" something else, what we’re looking at is a curated list. Those playlists we find on Spotify and Pandora? Curation. "Recommended for You" videos on Netflix? Curation. The news? Yep, it's curated. In an age where information is ubiquitous and impossible to consume all at once, we rely on the curation skills of others to help us process it all.
The idea is to bundle resources that can address a concrete need or question an ethnographer might have. Your curation shouldn't just be a grab bag of resources, but should be integrated into a cohesive whole that presents an argument. You can also think of the curation as a "syllabus" for self-study about a certain concept or skill (see [here](http://www.racismreview.com/blog/hashtag-syllabus-project/) for inspiration).
Present your curation as a self-contained website using images, hyperlinks, and text. You can build such a site using [TiddlyWiki](https://tiddlywiki.com/), but you are free to use other tools. Clearly state your site's Creative Commons license. You can choose to either submit the files for site itself (in the case of TiddlyWiki, it's just a single HTML file), or publish it on the web, for instance at [Neocities](https://neocities.org/), and then submit the public link.
