Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin will use its grant to train essential staff in the area of collections management and digitization of museum collections. The tribe will purchase collections management software and related equipment and hire a training consultant and one or more temporary collections assistants and interns. Following training, and working with Menominee elders, staff will process the collections and catalogue information. This comprehensive processing and cataloging of the museum’s collections, combined with a digitized inventory, will improve the accuracy of collections records and create a safer, more publicly accessible space. Tribal members, museum visitors, professors, researchers, students, and the general public will benefit from these activities.
