Ask an Archivist: How to Care for Indigenous Materials

Ask an Archivist: How to Care for Indigenous Materials Online

Does your library have Indigenous documents, photos, recordings, or historical items, but you’re not sure how to handle them? Join us for Ask an Archivist, a conversation series where you can bring your questions—big or small—and learn from archivists who specialize in Indigenous collections.

Together, we’ll talk about:

  • How to care for Indigenous materials with respect.
  • Cataloging and description that honor cultural perspectives.
  • When and how to limit access based on community protocols.
  • Building relationships with Indigenous communities.
  • And more.

This is a chance to get practical guidance, resources, and ideas you can use right away in your library. Whether you work in a public, academic, or special library, you’ll leave with tools to better care for the Indigenous materials entrusted to your collections.

Bring your questions and let’s learn together.
