This collection consists of approximately 500 digital photographs on seven CD-Rs which taken at the Sealaska Heritage Institute’s Celebration festival in 2004. The pictures in this collection were taken by a special team working to document and photograph Native regalia and the history behind specific regalia pieces. The project was known as the Dance Regalia Documentary Project and was managed by Tlingit artist and weaver Clarissa Hudson (Rizal). The project was funded by the Sealaska Heritage Institute, Artstream Cultural Resources, and the Alaska Humanities Forum.
Pictures on these CD-R discs include individuals and families in various poses displaying/wearing their regalia. All individuals are identified and signed a waiver granting SHI rights to use these photographs for educational purposes. These photos are arranged on the discs by the day on which individuals posed for pictures. There are approximately 500 images and there were around 50 studio shoots, wherein either an individual or a group posed for photographs. Photographs were taken by Donna Foulke and Clarissa Hudson.
Also included in the collection is a photo of Dance Regalia Documentary Project staff and a brochure explaining the Dance Regalia Documentary Project.
