Welcome to our community archive. As part of a National Endowment for Humanities Common Heritage Grant, Humboldt State University Library and Native American Studies Department is creating an archive and helping community members to digitize items about the 1988 Lyng v Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association Supreme Court case. 

Digitization dates:

Humboldt State Library June 29, 2018. 11 am - 5pm

Trinidad Rancheria Library July 6, 2018 11 am - 5pm

Do you have papers? Posters? Journals? Photos? Maps? T-shirts? Or any other materials that you would like scanned and made into digital copies? Attend one of the digitization days listed, or make an appointment with the Library by emailing Carly Marino at cm2816@humboldt.edu or call (707)826-4955.

We will be able to work with you to scan your personal collections. You will be able to take copies of all the files with you and will have the opportunity to contribute to a growing collection on Northwest California Tribal activism. You do not need to include your items in the public digital archive to participate.

This is part of a year-long grant project to create dialogue between members of tribal communities to relay the history of indigenous activism in the region while educating the HSU students in methods of archiving, preserving, and researching community history.

Sponsored by the National Endowment of the Humanities, HSU Native American Studies Department, and the HSU Library Special Collections.
