The Black Metropolis Research Consortium (BMRC) is delighted to present the
Legacy
Management
Resource
Portal
! With support from a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, BMRC Community Engagement Archivist, Tanya Calvin, has put together a
resource
for those seeking to archive their personal or organizational collections, or to donate their materials to a professional repository. The
Legacy
Management
Resource
Portal
's
Guide to Managing Your Archives
outlines the process of storing, housing, processing, and providing access to archival collections, while the
Guide to Donating Archival Materials
explains
choosing an institution, signing a deed of gift, and transferring collections to a repository. Both links can be found at the bottom of the
Legacy
Management
Resource
Portal
landing page.
The Black Metropolis Research Consortium (BMRC) is a Chicago-based membership association of libraries, universities, museums, community/arts organizations and other archival institutions. The BMRC's mission is to connect all who seek to document, share, understand and preserve Black experiences.
It is the vision of the BMRC to be essential to promoting discovery, preservation, and use of Black historical collections. Through consortial programs, the BMRC aids in expanding broad access to its members' holdings of materials that document African American and African diasporic culture, history, and politics, with a specific focus on materials relating to Chicago.
We hope that this
resource
will push forward our mission of preserving and sharing Black collections in Chicago and beyond by showing community members and organizations how they can ensure the longevity of their historical materials. As the title indicates, this
resource
strives to help preserve the many legacies that are stored in homes and community organizations.
Please share this
resource
widely with your networks!
