The North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California received a $115,181 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services (NANH-L) program (CFDA 45.311). This award will allow the tribal library staff to improve their collection storage and cataloging, both for printed and historical research materials, by expanding their online library system. Grant funds will support the tribe's collaboration with the California Historical Society and Fresno County Historical Society to research and obtain historical records and accounts to include in the library's collections. The project will also launch outreach efforts to encourage tribal citizens to participate in library learning programs and access the library's resources, including historical family information to help community members create family trees and learn more about their tribal history. This two-year project began on September 1, 2023 and will run through August 31, 2025.
