Native elders, Rasmuson Library collaborate on photographic collection
March 9, 2011
ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ 15 elders from the Koyukuk River villages of Hughes and Huslia recently spent
a week working with University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Fairbanks researchers to help preserve a
slice of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ history. Funded through a grant from the National Park Service, the
elders traveled from their homes in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's northern Interior to Fairbanks, where
they met with faculty and staff members from the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Polar Regions Collection at
the Rasmuson Library to identify faces and places in hundreds of photographs donated
to the library archives. UAF's Todd Paris produced this slideshow, which takes a look
at the project.
