Our Story Project: Digitized Collections relating to the Atlanta University Center
In 2017, The Spelman Archives were a proud participant on a major digital archives project. Our Story is a two and a half-year, collaborative grant funded project between the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library, Spelman College Archives, and the Digital Library of Georgia (DLG). Through AUC Woodruff Library’s digital portal RADAR and the DLG, this project will broaden access to unique publications, periodicals, theses, dissertations and photographs documenting the history of the AUC – the largest consortium of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The digital collection includes materials from the following schools and relate to various aspects of African American higher education directly after emancipation of slavery through to the 21st Century: Atlanta University, Clark College, Clark Atlanta University, Gammon Theological Seminary, Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College, and Spelman College.
Spelman Archives materials digitized for the project include publications such as the yearbooks and Spelman Messenger, and photographs covering various topics such as commencement and the Drama & Dance Department.
