Hoonah Tribe Association

The Hoonah Indian Association will use funds to implement a number of conservation and collections management related activities.  A consultant will be hired to provide guidance and training to the Hoonah Cultural Heritage Center's tribal curator.  Together, they will accession and catalog approximately 120 cultural objects that are currently in their possession, and they will also make duplicates of approximately 200 audio and video recordings.  The contractor will also assist the curator in the creation and implementation of a preventive conservation plan, and will complete condition reports for all of the cataloged objects.  Finally, the Hoonah Indian Association will purchase a computer and a software program to create an electronic collections management database that will maintain accurate records information.
