Archive Locations

Explore Black Archives

Our map helps you explore the archives, collections, and institutions. Use the filters to narrow your search by location, collection, theme, or other available categories.

Select a marker on the map to learn more about an archive, the themes represented in its collections, and the materials you can explore.

Where possible, ArchiveBlack provides direct links to individual archival materials. When a digital item is not available, we provide a link to the institution that holds the collection so you can learn more about its materials and access policies.

The map is a starting point for discovery. ArchiveBlack connects you to the institutions and collections where Black histories are preserved, while helping you navigate the stories, people, and materials within them.
