I'm happy to announce the newly-completed Guide to the Indigenous Materials at the @AmPhilSociety Library, the oldest and one of the largest repositories of archival materials relating to Indigenous cultures and languages of the Americas, dating from 1553 to 2017. Check it out! x.com/AmPhilSociety/status/9…

The APS Library and Center for Native American and Indigenous Research have a new guide to #Indigenous materials. Read more about the highlights from this improved resource: amphilsoc.org/blog/introduci…

This was a fascinating collection to catalog. Sue Gilfillan was Tim Powell's neighbor.
The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR) just cataloged the Sue Gilfillan collection, which touches on the urban Indigenous community in Minneapolis in the 1960s-70s and Native social movements in the U.S. in those years. #APSCNAIR search.amphilsoc.org/collect…

Something I have been working on lately that's been in the works for quite a while. Larry was an extraordinary person.
