Seldovia Village Tribe

The Seldovia Village Tribe will partner with the Seward Community Library & Museum to coordinate a multi-faceted project that offers training in digital collections management for a variety of audiences. A four-day workshop providing hands-on skills in digital object creation, processing, and preservation will be presented for staff members from small Alaska museums. The Seldovia Museum will inventory, digitize, and catalog its archival collections and conduct basic digitization workshops for local community members. The museum staff will also locate and digitize Seldovia-related materials housed in other museums and archives. These material will be added to Seldovia's archives, establishing the museum as a central, accessible repository for Seldovia's historical documents. The digitization and expansion of the museum's archives will benefit staff, community, researchers, and future generations. Community workshops will encourage participants to preserve and share their own records and photographs.
