The African American Heritage Project mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret local Black History - and we need your help. The museum is calling for Oral History Interview Volunteers and Artifact Donors to help us build future exhibits and programs.

The museum wants to collect information and artifacts that represent our immigrant communities. We need your help! Most importantly, we need community members to share their life experiences and perspectives with us in oral history interviews. Oral history interviews are open to all ages and generations of immigrants (1st,2nd,3rd…) and all cultures. We also need translators, transcribers, interviewers, videographers, and project outreach volunteers.
