Pauma Band of Mission Indians

The Pauma Band of Mission will purchase of supplies, technology, and digital preservation training for their Thriving Library Project at AA’Alvikat Library. The project will engage the community’s youth and seniors in translating historical and contemporary archive materials into digital content through the development of the tribe’s first digital archives. Participants will learn to document, catalog, digitize, process, review, and archive culturally relevant materials and artifacts. Outside contractors will assist the community to build a vision and goals, resources, workflow, collection evaluation, risk assessment, cataloging and metadata creation, digitization (including pre- and post-digitizing evaluations), and quality review. This project will benefit all tribal community members.
