KEYNOTE 

TITLE:

Archiving Yé Iswą: the Catawba Nation Archives

SPEAKER:

Ensley Guffey, Archivist, Catawba Nation Archives, Rock Hill, SC

This talk will provide an overview of the archival work taking place at the Catawba Nation Archives (CNA), located on the Catawba Indian Reservation outside of Rock Hill, SC, with special emphasis on some of the particular issues in tribal archives and on efforts to improve Catawba citizen access through digital and online technologies. Since 2020, the CNA has successfully worked to modernize its facilities, preservation capabilities, workflows, and digital outreach, with the primary goal of increasing collection discoverability and community access, balancing cultural sensitivity and traditional knowledge with current archival practice. Hopefully this brief talk will give some insight into the unique challenges of small tribal archives, and increase awareness of the CNA and its work.
