Institute of Museum and Library Services Grant
Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI) has won a federal grant to process and make available large archives left by the late scholars Richard Xwaayeenak and Nora Keixwnei Dauenhauer, who played a critical role in documenting Tlingit oral traditions and producing the Tlingit language materials students use today.
The $150,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) allows SHI to process the entire Dauenhauer Literary Estate, which was donated to the institute in 2020. The collection includes more than 74 linear feet of documents, X boxes of journals, 16 boxes of media, and 3 boxes of books, which will be processed over two years and made available to the public.
Approximately 2,700 documents from the collection will be digitized and put online under the scope of the grant.
Our grant number is NAE-246618-OLS-20.
