Native American Writers Archival Project

 

The Native American Writers Archival Project began this fall with new personnel coming on board. They are working with the project director on the first phase of the project, a Bibliography of Native American Writers, 1772-present.

Plans are to produce by August 1998, a web-site on which the first stage of the bibliography will be accessible to all and to which subsequent bibliography will be added. Phase Two of the project will make curriculum materials available on the web sit e. Phase Three is the section of the project that will put on-line some hard-to-access texts, photographs, maps, and other items, mainly from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Down the line, other phases of the Project will come on-line. These include an electronic file on contemporary Native American writing, including the works of members of the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers & Storytellers and other Native author s. These works will appear as text, as videos, and as audio recordings. Finally, we envision a second electronic bibliography that will include citations and annotations of scholarly writing and secondary sources in Native American literature.

Comments and suggestions for the project are invited. Write to the project director: James W. Parins, Native American Writers Archival Project, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, 2801 S. University Ave., Little Rock, AR 72204-1099; or e-mail to jwparins@ualr.edu.
