Chickasaw Nation
Log Number: NG-03-12-0277-12
On behalf of the Chickasaw Nation, the Holisso Research Center (HRC) will create the “Chickasaw Nation Cultural Connection,” an online repository of significant archival documents, records, maps, and photographs from the Chickasaw Nation Cultural Center and other tribal archive collections. Original Indian Territory land allotment maps from the late 1880s, original chattel mortgages, land deeds, as well as photographs from Chickasaw Nation boarding schools will be digitized. Staff will create metadata, upload the materials to the HRC website, and provide a resource catalog that will make almost half of the Nation’s archival collection available online for the first time to tribal members and researchers alike.
