Grant Overview
South Dakota contains nine federally recognized tribal nations whose archives remain largely undigitized, with fewer than 12 percent of Lakota and Dakota language recordings held in state-supported repositories. Full-time students at South Dakota State University or tribal colleges must present projects that address physical preservation alongside format migration for these materials.
Eligibility documentation includes tribal historic preservation officer endorsement and proof of facility access on reservation land. Budgets must allocate at least 30 percent of requested funds to cold-storage media meeting National Archives standards for sub-zero plains winters. Applications are evaluated against the state’s 2022 cultural resources survey, which identifies 187 at-risk sites lacking climate control.
Reviewers verify that proposed workshops incorporate travel allowances calibrated to the average 87-mile distance between reservation communities and the nearest commercial scanner vendor. Projects must also demonstrate how digitized files will be mirrored to the state’s single redundant server located in Pierre rather than out-of-state commercial clouds.
South Dakota’s lack of adjacent urban centers and its extreme temperature swings differentiate these constraints from those faced by applicants in neighboring North Dakota or Nebraska.
