Description:

The proposed program is one component of Phase 3 of Lyackson’s Cultural Records Project.

Each component of Phase 3 will have their own funding programs, and the project will digitize and upload, and describe pre-identified language and cultural resources across these different sources so that we can meet our goal to facilitate community access to these resources.
