We are still on a high from the Amistad Research Center’s (ARC) recognition as a recipient of the IMLS' 2022 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. This national recognition was based on Amistad’s decades-long legacy as a cultural heritage institution. ARC proudly maintains a reputation for providing access to outstanding collections, creating thought-provoking public programming, exceptional educational outreach, and for supporting individuals & organizations that highlight the histories of marginalized communities. Amistad continues to be a spark for dialogue and change.

There is no story that the Amistad Research Center can’t tell

ARC tells stories of people and organizations who fight for equality, freedom, and social justice. Amistad's legacy is rooted in liberty. This isn’t solely ours to protect. We share this legacy with you, and we are counting on you to take your place in history.

Your donation to the Amistad Research Center will help us secure $50,000 in support of the preservation and expansion of access to over 900 collections, 8,000 moving images, and 1,100 works of art by African American artists in our repository.
