National Archives, Culture and Historic Preservation

Through the purchase and installation of library automation software, the Federated States of Micronesia’s Office of National Archives, Culture and Historic Preservation (NACH) will enhance collection management among its four main islands, which are hundreds of miles apart. Six participating libraries that serve students and the public will receive installation assistance and training for the new software. The project will pave the way for the development of a catalog that allows searching across different library collections and facilitates interlibrary loan. In this way, it will lead to increased resource sharing and give students and the general public access to enhanced collections.
