Indigenous Knowledges: a Digital Residency Exchange and Best Practices Pilot

来自din<s:1>学院特别馆藏和Kinyaa'áanii Charlie Benally图书馆（纳瓦霍民族）的合作团队，与来自惠康收藏（英国）的博物馆，图书馆和档案专业人员合作，并得到亚利桑那大学西南中心（美国）和肯特大学土著和定居者殖民研究中心的学者的支持，建议开发一种互惠的协商模式，用于协作数字非殖民化土著材料。该模式将英国文化遗产收藏机构与美国部落大学图书馆相结合，在社区中实现图书馆、博物馆、档案馆和文化遗产机构的多重功能。Kinyaa的áanii图书馆和惠康收藏馆将交换为期三周的现场驻留，然后在剩余的资助期内进行数字驻留。利用开源内容管理系统Local Contexts Hub， din<s:1>学院研究员（DCRF）和肯特大学研究助理（UKRA）将确定需要的领域，作为美国部落学院图书馆和英国遗产机构之间关于非殖民化和数字化土著材料互惠信息共享合作战略的更大资助提案的基础。重点将是肯尼亚áanii特别收藏和惠康的平行样品选择。提议的结果是开发和测试一种工作模式，在部落大学图书馆和档案馆与遗产收集机构之间实现数字化的跨大西洋互惠合作。大学教师将为项目提供研究背景，实际项目管理，并为DCRK和乌克兰研究员提供指导。通过本地背景平台的交叉培训，交流将产生两个结果：1)随着政策、方法和实际应用开始协同开发，一个互惠的数字工作模型；2)最后一场针对文化遗产专家和部落大学图书管理员的研讨会。一个附带目标是为英国GLAM专业人员和北美部落学院LAM专业人员之间的未来数字交换居住地建立一个咨询社区和模型。

A collaborative team from Diné College Special Collections and Kinyaa'áanii Charlie Benally Library (Navajo Nation) and working with museum, library and archive professionals from the Wellcome Collection (UK) and supported by scholars from University of Arizona Southwest Center (US), and University of Kent Centre for Indigenous and Settler Colonial Studies, propose to develop a reciprocal, consultative model for collaborative digital decolonizing of indigenous materials. This model pairs a UK cultural heritage collecting institution with a US tribal college library that fulfills plural functions as library, museum, archive, and cultural heritage institution in its community. Kinyaa'áanii Library and Wellcome Collection will exchange three-week residencies on location, followed by digital residencies for the remaining period of the grant. Using the open-source content management system Local Contexts Hub, the Diné College Research Fellow (DCRF) and University of Kent Research Assistant (UKRA) will identify areas of need to serve as the basis for a larger funding proposal on collaborative strategies of decolonization and reciprocal information-sharing for digitized indigenous materials between US tribal college libraries and UK heritage institutions. The focus will be parallel sample selections of items from Kinyaa'áanii Special Collections and Wellcome. The proposed outcome is to develop and test a working model of digitally-achieved transatlantic reciprocal collaboration between a a tribal college library and archives and a heritage collecting institution. University faculty will provide research context for the project, practical project management, and mentoring for the DCRK and UKRAFellows. By cross-training via the Local Contexts platform, the exchange will lead to two outcomes: 1) a reciprocal digital working model as policy, methodologies, and practical applications begin to be developed collaboratively; 2) a culminating, symposium directed to cultural heritage professionals and tribal college librarians. A collateral goal is to establish a consultative community of practice and model for future digital exchange residencies between U.K. GLAM professionals and North American tribal college LAM professionals.
