We are pleased to announce the Oregon Library Services and Technology Act Program awarded OFN grant funds for our Equitable Access to All Oregon Culture Keepers project. The award will fund several exciting projects related to our Culture Keepers Roster.
With the newly secured funds, OFN will initiate an overhaul of our current roster software and data collection techniques. At the end of the project, we’ll have a new, improved system for presenting research records about living culture keepers from western Oregon communities, and a whole new level of staff expertise related to the development and management of culture keepers’ online profiles.
We’re grateful to the Oregon State Library for its support and look forward to sharing a refreshed and highly accessible roster that will continue to grow over the years ahead. In the meantime, you can visit the current version of the roster on our website.
