SNAC Create and Edit

July 29, 1-5 pm EST (In-person event in conjunction with SAA)

Tulane University

Howard Tilton Memorial Library | 7001 Freret St., New Orleans, LA (accessible by bus, car or rideshare)

This series is made publicly accessible by a Mellon funded grant in which a team of researchers are exploring ways to improve search and access of archival records for Indigenous communities through the web platform Social Networks and Archival Contexts (SNAC). Through qualitative and Indigenous methodologies, we are exploring the potential for Indigenizing aggregation and linked data tools to better connect Indigenous researchers to community records. 

The structure of the program has been revamped and shortened, and we have made many aspects of SNACSchool asynchronous and are hoping to develop a fully asynchronous version of SNACSchool as well.

SNAC Create and Edit is a multi-module course geared towards those interested in editing in SNAC. Some archival research training or experience is recommended before taking this class, and you can find helpful videos on our website! Previously recorded sessions and PDFs of slide decks are also available to revisit steps and refresh your memory.
