The Culture & Heri tage Department intends to make these recordings available on a web portal In the near future. In a n o th e r g ra n t funded p ro je c t, Culture & Heritage Departments hired elders and traditional bear ers to transcribe and translate s e le c te d re c o rd in g s in th e Sahaptin, Kiksht, and Numu lan guages. A local partner and ben eficiary o f this project includes Governm ental A ffa irs w ho has used oral histories o f Tribal mem be rs d o c u m e n tin g tra d itio n a l ways on the Columbia River to ad vocate fo r tribal rights to natural resources. The project is the latest e ffo rt in collaboration between the Univer sity o f Oregon Libraries and the Culture & Heritage Departm ent th a t has resulted in digitization o f approxim ately 50 open reels and 2 0 0 analog cassettes since 2012. Many historical sound re cordings are a t risk o f loss due to th e in s ta b ility o f th e materials and the near obsolescence o f the technology required to play older formats, including cylinders, discs, and reels. Emily Afanador w ith th e Oreon Folklife N etw ork, a partner on the grant, is com plet ing a docum entary short on the project and its e ffo rt to preserve historic tribal sound recordings.
