Nunalleq Digital Museum Project: 'Land, Place and Subsistence'

Nunalleq Digital Museum Project: 'Land, Place and Subsistence' Contribute to the Museum! We are collecting stories and pictures from Quinhagak and Nunalleq. Your knowledge, stories and memories will help shape the museum.

The Nunalleq Digital Museum project is building an online exhibition and digital catalogue of the collection so that everyone near and far can learn about the Nunalleq artefacts and their stories. The Nunalleq Culture and Archaeology Center in Quinhagak houses the physical Nunalleq collection, the Digital Museum will virtually open it up to a wider audience. If you live in Quinhagak, come from Quinhagak, or have worked with the Nunalleq Project, we'd love to hear from you. We are looking for your help to co-curate the digital museum that you want. By adding them to this page you will contribute and be part of the digital exhibition. This project is led by Charlotta Hillerdal, University of Aberdeen, and Alice Watterson, University of Dundee, in collaboration with Qanirtuuq Inc.

We are delighted to share that the Nunalleq Digital Museum & Catalogue is now online! www.nunalleq.org/

This version works best for desktop - but stay tuned for a phone-friendly version coming later this summer :)

Using our new resource you can explore Yup'ik life in the past, told by the Quinhagak community in the present. Cycle through the seasons to unlock unique themed pages with artwork and media content based on current interpretations from over a decade of archaeological excavations at Nunalleq. You can also use the trowel icon to browse the catalogue of over 6000 objects from the collection.

Last week we shared a 3D animated model of a mingqusviutat or needle case from Nunalleq, and the artwork below is a screenshot from our new resource where the needle case can be found. Our 'virtual exhibition' has hundreds of 3D scanned artefacts from the excavations which are hosted across 12 different themed pages - this page focusses on sewing in wintertime.
