ENDOWMENT FOR THE GILCREASE MUSEUM'S CHIEF CONSERVATOR'S POSITION

THE GILCREASE MUSEUM WILL PROVIDE VIRTUAL ACCESS TO FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF THE 1921 TULSA RACE MASSACRE BY CATALOGING AND DIGITIZING 600 PHOTOS AND 100 ORAL HISTORIES FROM SURVIVORS. RECOGNIZING A SUBSTANTIVE INCREASE IN SEARCH SESSIONS AND USERS OF ITS ONLINE COLLECTIONS SINCE THE ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE MUSEUM HOPES TO EXPAND ITS REACH TO THE HIGH-NEED COMMUNITY OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN TULSA BY SHARING THESE SELECT MATERIALS FROM ITS COLLECTIONS. COMMUNITY PARTNERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN TAGGING AND CATALOGING MATERIALS THAT CAN BE DISCOVERED THROUGH INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES. THE MUSEUM WILL ALSO USE THE COLLECTION TO CREATE A CURRICULUM TO ASSIST K-12 EDUCATORS IN TEACHING TRAUMA-BASED HISTORY. THE PROJECT WILL CONVERGE WITH THE CENTENNIAL COMMEMORATION OF THE MASSACRE ON MAY 31-JUNE 1, 2021.

"IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA, THE GILCREASE MUSEUM WILL INVENTORY, ASSESS CONDITION, CATALOG, AND IMAGE 1,500 ETHNOGRAPHIC ITEMS FROM ITS ANTHROPOLOGY COLLECTION. THE RESULT WILL BE A FULL COLLECTION INVENTORY, CONDITION ASSESSMENT, HIGH QUALITY DIGITAL IMAGES, MEDIUM-DEPTH CATALOG RECORDS, AND EXPANSION OF THE NEWLY DEVELOPED DISTANCE CATALOGUING INTERFACE, WHICH ENABLES SCHOLARS TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR EXPERTISE REMOTELY. THE IMAGES AND ASSOCIATED MATERIALS WILL BE ACCESSIBLE ONLINE AND IN THE MUSEUM'S KRAVIS DISCOVERY CENTER, AN ANTHROPOLOGY-BASED INTERACTIVE OPEN STORAGE EXHIBITION GALLERY. THIS STEWARDSHIP PROJECT WILL STRENGTHEN THE MUSEUM'S CONTRIBUTIONS AS A VITAL RESOURCE FOR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND A CONDUIT TO EDUCATE A WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE ABOUT THE CULTURES AND LIFE-WAYS OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES LIVING IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA, SPECIFICALLY THE OSAGE, CHEROKEE, AND MUSCOGEE (CREEK) NATIONS."
