preservation assessment of language, cultural, and historical collections in
the archives of Oglala Lakota College. Documentary materials represent
traditional and cultural knowledge of the Oyate Kin people, one of the seven
bands of the Lakota of the Northern Plains region. Around 500 linear feet of
archival records include institutional records of the college, tribal
government records, maps, newspapers, photographs, and audiovisual items from
the years 1940-2000.
The Woksape Tipi Archives houses unique language, cultural,
and historical materials of the Oglala Lakota Nation. The diverse collections
are an invaluable cultural resource for the communities of the Pine Ridge
Reservation and the students, faculty, and staff of Oglala Lakota College (OLC),
and important to the national and international communities who explore and
write about indigenous topics. Many of these materials do not exist elsewhere,
making preservation of utmost importance. OLC will contract a Conservator to
conduct an onsite assessment of our Archive’s collections of 2000 linear feet
and do a report including institutional information, staffing , facilities,
environment, security, collection policies, disaster preparedness, care of collections,
summary of needs, recommendations for storage, preservation and display. We
will develop a strong needs-based plan for approaching the varied needs of the
collections based upon the assessment report.
