2026 Collecting, Researching, & Writing: The Black Diaspora Conference

About this event

AARL's mission is simple: The conference is dedicated to the exploration and preservation of African American culture and history. The Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History seeks to unite expert and enthusiast scholars, archivists, and community leaders to celebrate, document, and advance the rich tapestry of the Black experience. Our theme this year is inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s powerful quote, "The fierce urgency of now." The programming will call for and highlight the critical importance of maintaining archival collections and the vital impact of donating them.
