Mukurtu Hubs and Spokes IMLS Grant 2017-2021

Mukurtu Hubs and Spokes: A Sustainable National Platform for Community Archiving (2017-2021) was made possible by Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Digital Platfor grant awarded to the Center for Digital Scholarship and Creation at Washington State University. The grant formed regional hubs for support and training in Mukurtu for tribal and non-tribal cultural heritage institutions. Hubs also collected user stories from community members and provided feedback to WSU to further the development of Mukurtu.

Initial Hubs included the Department of Linguistics, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, Native Northeast Research Collaborative, Yale Divinity School, University of Oregon Libraries, and WiLS in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison iSchool. The project also went international with the addition of an Australia Hub.
