SAVE THE DATE: IndigenizeSNAC Edit-a-thon 2025!
November 14, 11 am-5 pm EST!
Registration for this hybrid event is not yet open while we finalize details, but we encourage you to save the date for attendance virtually OR in-person in the DC area from 11am-5pm EST!
In conjunction with the opening day of the ASIS&T Annual Meeting in Crystal City, VA, this edit-a-thon is open to ALL SNAC Editors and Trainers, but will have an Indigenous focus and objectives relating to some technical and editorial projects that have occurred, such as expansions and implementations of thesauri and controlled concepts modules. The aim of this Indigenous SNAC edit-a-thon is to improve discovery of Indigenous archival material that has been dispersed to multiple repositories, and to continue exploring best practices around entities in SNAC for Indigenous, Native American, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, or First Nations individuals and Nations, as well as for colonial actors and institutions whose records hold relevance for Indigenous researchers.
No prior experience participating in an edit-a-thon or working with the SNAC platform is required, but we are also hosting a series of SNACSchool Events this Summer and Fall to get your prepared! Registration is open for all of those events and information can be found using the button below!
