2008 National Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums Institutes
The 2008 Institutes provided an in-depth exploration of subjects of interest to staff and volunteers of tribal museums, libraries, and archives. With major funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the programs serve as a bridge between the two national conferences, 2007 in Oklahoma City and 2009 in Portland. Each 3-day Institute is preceded by an optional full-day Workshop.
The Institues schedule was as follows:
- April 14 — How to Recognize and Prevent Threats to Your Collection
- April 15-17 — Skills and Strategies for Managing Tribal Records
- July 14 - Field Trips to Museums with Major American Indian Collections
- July 15-17 — Displaying and Caring for American Indian Objects
