Catawba Indian Nation

The primary focus of the Catawba Indian Nation Archives and Libraries Basic grant is the continuation of digitizationefforts to preserve and share documents, photographs, and other essential collections. The digitized collections will then be shared on the archival Mukurtu website to be accessed by not only tribal members, but also researchers, teachers, and site users all around the world. Library staff will also focus on bringing in more collections from the community, including personal collections, tribal entity collections, and other community collections. Another focus of FY 2018 will be increasing community engagement with the archives, including sharing the importance of the work of the archives and what we have to offer the tribal nation and communities as a whole.
