Sequoyah National Research Center: "constitutes the largest assemblage of Native American expression in the world. Containing American Indian, Alaska Native, and First Nations newspapers, periodicals, and other publications. Additionally, the SNRC is home to manuscript and special collections, maps, posters, photographs, and audio-visual recordings and is the official repository for the American Indian Library Association correspondence, the National Trail of Tears Association, and the Native American Journalists Association. Our mission, to acquire and preserve the writings and ideas of Native North Americans, is accomplished through collecting the written word and art of Native Americans and creating a research atmosphere that invites indigenous peoples to make the Center an archival home for their creative work. Supports the activities of the American Native Press Archives (ANPA). The ANPA digital text project brings out-of-print literary efforts of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and First Nations people of Canada to readers world wide." The Native Writers Digital Text Project is also searchable online. Viewers can copy these resources freely for personal use, research, and teaching (including distribution to classes) as long as a statement of reference is included. Catalog of full holdings, collections, and archives as well as digital Trail of Tears exhibit available for users.
