Adopted Mukurtu
University of Florida — Samuel Proctor Oral History Program
The Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida is using the open-source Mukurtu platform to digitally repatriate roughly 1,000 Doris Duke oral-history recordings made with Southeastern tribes — Seminole, Cherokee, Choctaw, Catawba, Creek and Lumbee — between 1966 and 1975. Mukurtu's Traditional Knowledge Labels and granular access protocols let the university make transcripts and audio available while giving the tribes autonomy over how the material is used. A US university example of turning a mid-century academic archive into a community-governed one.
