In 2021, discussions between the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries’ (COPPUL) Digital Preservation, Indigenous Knowledge, and Shared Print programs led to the formation of the Indigenous Historical Publications Working Group (IHPWG). Made up of members with expertise in Indigenous Studies, collection development, digitization, and digital preservation, this group is guiding efforts within COPPUL to improve discovery of, access to, and preservation of publications by and about Indigenous communities on whose lands our members live and work. These publications include newspapers, newsletters and various forms of grey literature.
