The Sealaska Heritage Group will archive the Dauenhauer Literary Estate and make it available for Tlingit language speakers, learners, students, teachers, and the public to access for research and educational purposes. The collection is comprised of 275 linear feet of documents created by Nora and Richard Dauenhauer, Tlingit scholars who spent four decades working with fluent Tlingit speakers. The archivist will digitize 2,700 documents, made available online through Profio, build a finding aid for the collection, and create the "Lingi't Shkalneegí-Lingi't Tundata'ani: The Lifework of Nora and Richard Dauenhauer" archival resource guide. The archivist and research specialist will deliver lectures during the Sealaska Heritage Group annual Native American Heritage Month lecture series.
