Penobscot Indian Nation

The Penobscot Nation Cultural and Historic Preservation Department will inventory and digitize cultural heritage materials housed at the Penobscot Nation Museum. Staff members will be trained on digitization best practices. This pilot project will provide the skills needed for ongoing efforts and help staff digitize heritage materials held by other organizations and museums. The multi-day training will focus on photography, general workflow/project planning, and working with the content management system. The selected content management system will provide a digital space for Penobscot citizens to share stories and cultural knowledge with other tribal members. In addition, it will link the museum collection to the Penobscot Language Revitalization Project. These efforts will result in an inventory that is accurate and consistent with tribal records.
