Community Curation

Learn More

The Community Curation Platform invites members of the museum community to share the stories, photos and videos that make up their personal collections. The goal is to bridge the generational divide: through digital storytelling, we can continue the tradition that has helped us paint a more vivid picture of American history.

The Community Curation Platform is supported by the National Museum of African American History and Culture's

Center for the Digitization and Curation of African American History. The Center offers free digitization services in communities across the U.S. conducts guided genealogy research sessions in the museum, works with institutions to preserve vulnerable collections, and hosts a robust internship and fellowship program.

Through the Community Curation Platform, the Center invites those who attend our Community Curation events and those who simply want to engage with our community to show the world there are myriad ways to tell black stories.
