Description: In 2018, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) hosted a Community Curation Program at three locations in Colorado: the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library (BCAARL), the Black American West Museum, and Lincoln Hills. This project, funded by the Robert Frederick Smith Fund, offered programs on documenting and sharing the history and culture of African American communities. The project focused on family photos and other materials held by private individuals. Participants learned how to capture oral histories and digitize materials, and BCAARL/NMAAHC offered digitization services for personal collections. Participants were given the option of adding materials to the NMAAHC digital collection, donating physical items to BCAARL, and/or just using the digitization service to capture digital images for private use.
