The term 'uncurated collection' has become increasingly relevant in Brazil and globally with the rise of digital archives and crowdsourced content platforms. In institutional contexts (museums, libraries, universities), Brazilian professionals often use 'coleção não curada' or 'acervo não curado' when discussing digital projects that accept unfiltered user submissions or legacy collections awaiting professional organization. The concept reflects modern debates about accessibility, democratization of cultural content, and the balance between professional curation and open-source knowledge management.
