The Eartha M. M. White Historical Museum will undertake a collections management project based upon Conservation Assessment Program recommendations to organize and catalog more than 10,000 primary and secondary source documents and photographs dating from 1896 to 1974. Grant funds will be used to engage a full time Research Center Director and a part time Research Center Assistant, whose duties will be to identify, research, and catalog historic documents in the archives, in addition to setting up the research center, caring for, and expanding the archives, and increasing awareness about the research center in the community. When completed, the archival and research center will serve the needs of higher education, professional researchers, and the general public in providing access to its collection of historical documents and artifacts relative to African American history in Northeast Florida.
