Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums

The Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATALM) will provide two annual conferences with continuing education programs targeted to the needs of tribal archivists, librarians, and museum staff; and will conduct a survey of tribal archives, libraries, and museums, followed by a report documenting activities, challenges, and needs. Funded activities will contribute to improving the informational, educational, and cultural programs and services available to the nation's 4.5 million indigenous peoples. Grant funds of $150,000 will be used to support conference scholarships.
