MUSCOGEE (CREEK) NATION
CULTURAL PRESERVATION

The design and operation of the Cultural Preservation Office is to conduct the documentation and preservation projects necessary for sustaining an integrated culture.

Library/Archives
Under the direction of the Office of Cultural and Historical Preservation Office, the Muscogee Nation Library/Archives addresses the research and information needs of both citizens and non-citizens engaging in serious inquiry into Muscogee culture and history. The Library/Archives houses a collection of over 1,600 volumes of reference materials, an almost complete set of Bureau of American Ethnology reports and bulletins. 730 reels microfilmed records of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from 1828 to 1840.
Included in the collections are the Final Dawes Rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes, the Grant Forman collection of Oklahoma Pioneer Histories. Also in a special collection are the private letters of Pleasant Porter, the Principal Chief of the Muscogee Nation during the allotment act in early 1900's. Due to the fragile condition, one of a kind, or limited availability of most works, all Muscogee Nation Library/Archival collections are non-circulating.

Translation Services
Translations may be prepared, as time permits, by office staff who are fluent in the Muscogee language.
