Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums

The Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATALM) will provide training and resources to assist up to 15 Native communities with planning for cultural facilities. Working with planners, architects, designers, and other experts, ATALM will provide web-based and in-person training on the various phases of strategic planning and building cultural facilities; consultations with professional experts; and access to design plans that can be tailored to the needs of individual communities. The team will also facilitate access to case-studies and related resources and materials and site visits to recently constructed cultural facilities. The project will result in freely available resources, new tools, research findings, services, and models that may be widely used, adapted, scaled, and replicated by Native and non-Native communities.
