GRASAC’s Database

Detail from a GKS record for a 19th-century Anishinaabe beaded bandolier bag, currently in the Pitt Rivers Museum (1948.12.21).

GRASAC members have collaboratively built an online database, the GRASAC Knowledge Sharing System (GKS), to provide digital access to Great Lakes cultural items held in repositories around the world (including oral narratives, archival documents, photographs, Indigenous language research, visual and material culture).

The GKS is an innovative, multidisciplinary, web-accessible and password-protected database that supports the exchange of members’ diverse knowledges and that promotes the interrelationship of images, texts and audio components that have too often been separated in previous modes of collecting. Currently the GKS contains some 4,000+ heritage item records and some 25,000+ Cayuga and Ojibwe language items records. If you are interested in accessing the database, please contact us.
