The document discusses the Indigenous Digital Archive, which aims to share images and records of global cultural heritage online in an accessible way. It notes some of the challenges with accessing paper records from different locations and jurisdictions. The archive allows users to access large amounts of records online, add tags to help with searchability, and make annotations that can be shared. This helps overcome issues of geography and allows collaborative work between multiple archives. Advisers to the project include representatives from New Mexico state agencies, universities, tribal libraries and a former boarding school student.

13. The Paper version of “Big Data”
To trace an event, person, or group – need to be able to:
1.Access large amount of records, from different offices and
jurisdictions
2.Access documents from location convenient to user –
geography must not be a barrier
3.Mark a page, paragraph, sentence, or name in a set of
documents to return to later and to show others
4.Add keyword tags that travel with the documents to create
effective access
5.Requires knowledge of different localities and different histories
-- Collaborative work a plus!
6.Have materials from multiple archives join the conversation
7.For sustainability and scalability:
•. Not create one-off solution that is difficult to support and
isolates the material and work

14. Another plus for Archives
Ability to create effective online access without
bottlenecking content at the institution:
1.Open annotation format can be used to
crowdsource marking the beginnings of
documents, or the beginnings of years of a long
run of chronological documents
2.While the documents are being worked on to add
these guideposts, the documents are already
available to the public online

20. Manual labor:
students
carted 1400
tons of coal,
7000 cubic
feet of cement
