Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona

The Dr. Fernando Escalante Tribal Library will hire a consultant and purchase archival materials to plan for and implement a sustainable physical archive for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe as well as a digital learning environment. The consultant will provide an onsite assessment and develop a phased project plan for the Library to collect and preserve tribal materials. It also will support professional association membership and skill-enhancing workshops for its library workforce to gain essential skills, tools, and techniques in order to build a foundational knowledge of archives and special collections. The project will provide direct benefit to the over 20,000 tribal citizens within its project service area.
