Community Archiving Workshop and the Role of Professional Associations for Tribal Archives

Speakers: Sandra Yates, Texas Medical Center Library; Amanda Castro, Malki Museum
Aaron Saubel, Malki Museum

With the support of AMIA, the Community Archiving Workshop (CAW) has conducted workshops at the annual conference of the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, & Museums (ATALM) for the last two years. At the 2019 ATALM conference in Temecula, CA, Malki Museum from Banning, CA was the workshop’s feature collection. The session will summarize the activities of the day-long workshop that took place on October 8th. Amanda Castro, Malki Museum Director, will talk about the museum’s background as “California’s First Museum Founded by Native Americans,” its collections, and its involvement at the ATALM workshop. Other stewards of tribal archives will begin a roundtable discussion about the role of professional associations, like AMIA and ATALM, in supporting tribal archives in the preservation and access of their materials for their communities.
