Supporting Indigenous Scholarship

Curricula across the world is constantly evolving to be more inclusive, particularly for Indigenous peoples. Library collections that reflect the histories, cultures and traditions of Indigenous peoples benefit both Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners.

Expanding collections to support culturally inclusive research can be challenging for libraries that don’t have experts on staff. ProQuest collaborates with experts like Yanti Ropeyarn from the University of Technology Sydney and Jennifer Randall, Lead Archivist at the International African American Museum and part of the Waccamaw tribe.
