Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin

The Menominee Indian Tribal Archives and the Menominee Cultural Museum in Keshena, Wisconsin, will collaborate on a project to improve management, care, and tribal member access to archival and ethnographic collections. They will hire and train two part-time staff to select, catalog, and rehouse collection materials. Other museum staff will receive trainings on archival software and collections care and management. The tribal archivist will manage the project, which is part of a long-term effort to provide tribal members with digital access to a broad array of cultural heritage materials, and was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on collections stewardship.
