Dr. Ngome Elvis Nkome is a lecturer in the Department of History and African Studies at the University of Buea in Cameroon and holds a PhD in Economic and Socio-Cultural History. His research interests cut across culture, history, colonial and post-colonial Africa, ethnographic research, museum studies and conflicts, security and peace studies. Besides teaching and academic research, he has also served as field consultant and research scientist for the Anglophone Regions of Cameroon under the project The “Blue Rider Post” and the Max von Stetten Collections from Cameroon during the German colonial era. He was also part of Open Restitution Africa's third cohort of case study researchers. His existing knowledge of history and heritage issues in post-colonial Africa, his engagement with the contemporary restitution landscape in Cameroon, as well as the networks he forged in Cameroon and Germany through the provenance research project, aided him in capturing the restitution journey of the Tangué in relation to the myriad contextualising circumstances that influenced its progression.
