Curated from the hearts and minds of Black women, the Black Beauty Archives encompasses the history of our past, documents the present while imagining the future. Our mission is to preserve, document and celebrate the history of Black Beauty.
Objects include vintage beauty ads, magazines, press photos, and rare beauty tools. Exclusive oral histories from beauty professionals and creatives alike, are added to our collection on a monthly basis. The BBA will continue to add to these collections, expanding our archival holdings to reflect the dynamic aesthetics of Black Beauty.
