| Summary: | This article deals with the provocative questions of repatriating recordings stored in large and small archival
institutions, mainly audio or video recordings, to source communities.
While this topic is often, disputed within the framework of sound and audio-visual archivists, it is rather
rarely, investigated with academic vigor based personal experience in the field of music research. This paper
attempts to start closing the knowledge gap and exchange ideas between those with practical experience
and those with musicological background but not necessarily intense experiences.
The article provides an in-depth understanding of the term ‘home-coming’ and how this term relates to
future activities and directions to be considered by museums and archival institutions. These insights might
be of great benefit in sustaining and developing today’s archival institutions in Asia and Europe.
