Why Use WRHS to Preserve African American Historic Documentation?

  • Removal of papers, records and memorabilia to the WRHS Library frees space in the work place or residence, and saves storage costs
  • Papers, records and memorabilia, while always remaining fully accessible to the donor, are kept in a secure area preventing any unauthorized use or loss
  • Papers, records and memorabilia are catalogued and processed by professional archivists who create detailed finding aids to provide easy reference, and use acid-free folders and containers to extend paper life
  • Only authorized personnel and verified researchers have access to the collections; limitations are set by the donor in consultation with the curator
  • Collections are kept under correct environmental conditions with temperature and humidity controls
  • Papers, records and memorabilia remain close at hand at University Circle, Cleveland's educational and cultural center
  • Papers, records and memorabilia will join the many other collections already in the African American Archives and become part of the broad spectrum of historic documentation for greater Cleveland's community
