Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria

The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR) library will provide the community with increased virtual access to its collection by digitizing archival materials. They plan to purchase specialized digitization equipment and hire a professional video editor to enhance and archive tribal videos, preserving them for future generations. Library staff will receive professional training and continuing education in digital media curation and interpretation to better provide the community with access to the digitized materials. They also will digitize and present materials on FIGR’s Mukurtu Digital Cultural Database, which contains more than 1,000 digital heritage items and more than 3,200 Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo words in the online dictionary.
