Salamatof Tribal Council

The Salamatof Tribal Council of Alaska will contract a professional library consultant to evaluate current services and make recommendations for the development and enhancement of library services. Specifically, the consultant will recommend strategies for workflows, policies, procedures, collections management, needs assessments, and the integration of technology. Staff and members of the Salamatof Tribe, residents of the Kenai Peninsula and the state of Alaska, and researchers from around the world will benefit from this project. Supplies and equipment acquired for the project will allow the Tribe to expand library services to provide improved access to resources and information for users and the preservation of collections. Oral histories and documented skill demonstrations collected for the project will provide connection to knowledge held by elders, and current community members and future researchers can access audio/visual interviews and transcribed documents.
