Seminole Tribe of Florida

The Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum will complete a cataloging and research project that will both decolonize historic narratives and make a historic newspaper collection more accessible to the museum's community. The Tribe will enhance the existing catalog descriptions of a collection of 18th and 19th century newspapers published between 1768 and 1888 and make them accessible online. The newspapers serve as a record of a period that included colonization, war, and genocide perpetrated against Native populations of the southeastern U.S. The project will include the creation of a finding aid as well as newspaper and magazine articles that will illuminate how the newspapers shaped the telling of Seminole history.
