Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe plans to convert both tribal and private archival materials with cultural content to digital format to provide public access through a tribally owned and managed Web site that interfaces with existing online museums and libraries. The project is modeled on the earlier IMLS-funded Olympic Peninsula Online Community Museum. Staff will conduct outreach events to identify privately held materials and obtain permission to digitize and include them in the new online tribal archive. A collection management system will be implemented to index, catalog, and make the collection accessible online. Also, project staff will produce a user’s guide for the project’s target audience of tribal households, libraries, school districts, and academic institutions.
