The primary objective to the Black Belt
Museum is to collect, preserve, interpret,
and exhibit natural history specimens and
historic artifacts, craft, and artworks from
the central Black Belt. The collection
includes a number of objects from Native
American, European American, and African
American cultures, such as fossils, rock and
minerals, plants and animals, historical and
archaeological artifacts, and archives. The
current activities of the Black Belt Museum
include, but are not limited to, digital
documentation of the art and fossil
collections, creation of a database for the
information, accessioning archival materials
in possession of the Museum, and
solicitation of archival materials for the
Museum's collection. |
