Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums

ATALM will provide one annual conference with three days of continuing education programs targeted to the needs of indigenous cultural institutions. The conference will feature 4 fieldtrips to cultural sites of significance to Native peoples; 8 full-day intensive workshops and 4 half-day workshops; 2 plenary sessions; 108 concurrent sessions and 27 hands-on collections care labs; 24 posters and 16 round table discussions; 2 luncheons; and 2 cultural events. These culturally-specific programs (a combination of lectures, fieldtrips, hands-on workshops, interactive listening and exchange sessions, as well as “how to” case studies) have been developed and will be delivered by a national team of indigenous professionals from tribal archives, libraries and museums, as well as representatives from non-tribal organizations, government agencies, and others who share a commitment to sustaining and advancing indigenous cultures.
