| Body | From http://wsutoday.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=19698&TypeID=1 Digital archiving tool to give voice to indigenous peoples By Gail Siegel April 20, 2010 Kimberly Christen, assistant professor of comparative ethnic studies, has been working to give indigenous communities access to cultural heritage materials and a voice in how they are handled. A recent grant will further those efforts. Christen has been awarded a Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities to create a prototype open-source software package to reconnect indigenous communities with cultural heritage materials housed in museums, archives and libraries. The $49,606 grant supports the development of “Mukurtu: An Indigenous Archive and Publishing Tool,” a digital, standards-based, adaptable archiving tool that emphasizes cultural protocols and provides a means for indigenous knowledge to inform public and private collections.
