Oregon Heritage Commission Grant The Oregon Heritage Commission awarded the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Culture & Heritage Language Department the Oregon Folklife Network, and the UO Libraries an Oreon Heri tage Grant to complete a pilot preservation and access project fo r 40 hours of tribal sound recordings. The grant partners will collabo rate and develop local policies and procedures, install a preser vation workstation, train a Culture & Heritge Language Dept. Archivist in preservation recording. In support the Oregon Folklife Network (OFN) will perform video documentation and assist in the production of an online training unit on preser vation recording for other' organi zations with similar needs. The partners will define a model of collaboration for preserving and providing access to tribal sound recordings and raise public awareness of a significant body o f Oregon’s cultural heritage materials tha t is at high risk of being lost. The Culture & Heritage Language Dept. selected the recordings, which include documentation of cultural practices, tribal lan guages, council meetings, and public events, on the basis of their cultural value and their preservation risk. These record ings have strong potential for use by tribal membes and organi zations but are inaccessible and at risk of loss due to their un stable medium and near obsolete technology. The project will center on a one- weekpreservation recording project at the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Indian Reservation during which a UO Librarian will train a Culture & Heritage Language Dept. Archi vist in preservation revcording and then assist in the digitization o f 15 hours of sound recordings, with consultation from teh UO Librarian, the Cultur e& heritage Language Dept. Archivist will continue the presrrvation of an additional 25 hours of record ings. The Culture & Heritage Language Dept. will consult with Tribal members and Oranizations in determining access policies. The Culture & Heritage Language Dept. Director and archivist will visit UO Libraries to reach an agreement on long term, net worked data storage of preserva tion copies. Preservation audio files will be stored in multiple copies on optical disc at the Culture & Heritage Language Dept. as well as in closed access networked data storage at the UO Libraries. Audio files of selected recordings will be made accessible to tribal members at the Family Resource Center and Warm Springs Museum, and through subsequent programs at the Senior Center and in collabo ration with KWS0 91.9 Tribal Radio. The project will conclude with a 3 day work session at Warm Springs in which the UO Librarian and the Culture & Heritage Language Dept. Archivist will review and assess the project. The OFN Proram Mgr will conduct video documentaiton of selected sessions and assist in the production o f a training unit comprising web tutorials on audio archives management and preservation. OFN and UO Libraries will make the training unit available online to other organizations; and present on the project at Oregon State University (OSU) Library’s Tribal Archives institute in August 2012 and Oregon Heritage Conference in April 2013.
