Workshop overview:
This 2-day in-person workshop will focus on preservation and processing
archives through discussion and hands-on examples and will be of interest
to Tribal/First Nations Government administrators, archivists, cultural
memory keepers, community members, and students working to support and
develop Indigenous archives programs. Participants will learn:

- how to create a foundation for developing an archives program and
practical approaches for managing legacy/backlog records;
- appraisal strategies;
- handing records and fostering safe storage and research environments;
- beneficial supplies;
- how to process records created on different media formats (textual
records, graphic records, audio-visual, and sound recordings);
- light conservation actions including document repair, cleaning, and
rehousing

Woven throughout the discussion topics will be reflections on how western
archival practices can be balanced and integrated to support Indigenous
practices and protocols of knowledge sharing. Guest speakers will share
their experiences working with Indigenous archives. Participants will take
home a box of useful supplies to help them with their work.
