Advanced imaging and archiving skills for indigenous communities [this project provides a program of in-depth, hands-on training in advanced computational photography 2D and 3D documentary and archival technologies. IT is a collaboration between cultural heritage imaging and three indigenous community organizations: the aleutian pribilof islands association, serving the unangax^ (aleut) people; huliauapa?a, serving hawai?i?s native people; and the passamaquoddy tribal government in maine. The training sessions will build a sustainable core of culture bearers in each community to digitally document their material culture and heritage sites. A scientific imaging work flow and tools that simplify metadata management give the generated digital representations reliability and reusability. Tools supporting archival submission of the digital documentary materials help ensure the long-term preservation of each community?s digital collections. The project will help each community perpetuate their heritage and take control of their cultural narrative.]
