The Native American Collections Roundtable (NACR) is seeking items or packages for its silent auction fundraiser, taking place during this year's Northwest Archivists (NWA) annual conference. Donations of artwork, crafts/craft supplies, games, experiences, non-perishable treats (coffee, preserves, etc.), books/e-books by Native authors, downloadable art, subscriptions, and more are welcome, especially those that will directly support tribal and Indigenous entrepreneurs.

Funds raised will help NACR continue its mission to provide a local forum where tribal and non-tribal people working with Native American-related archival materials can engage in discussion and information sharing. This includes providing scholarships to individuals working with or aspiring to work with Native American collections to attend the NWA annual conference. 

This year’s conference theme is Redefining Resilience: Advocacy, Values, and Creative Solutions and we’d love for folks to get creative with donated item ideas for the silent fundraiser so NACR can continue to support giving voice to tribal interests across the Pacific Northwest region. If you have an item you would like to donate for inclusion in the Silent Auction, please fill out this form by end-of-day May 2, 2025!
