The Samish Indian Nation's Archives and Cultural Resource Department is seeking grant support to improve its archival storage facility. We would like to hire a consultant to evaluate the department's current facilities and procedures. The consultant will assess the facility, evaluate the current conditions of the building and the archival collections which it houses, and then prepare a report with recommendations for facility and procedural improvements. An enhanced facility will allow the department to care for the collections more efficiently, and to preserve collections for the benefit of the tribe and community. |
