A Place for All People: Introducing the National Museum of African American History and Culture

 

A Place for All People

Visit our Creation Station to view the poster exhibit A Place for All People: Introducing the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The exhibition celebrates the Smithsonian's newest museum with posters highlighting key artifacts that tell the rich and diverse story of the African American experience. A Place for All People is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) in collaboration with the Museum. The exhibit will run through the end of February.

The Memory Lab

The lab provides equipment for digitizing home movies, phonograph records, and scanning photographs, negatives, and slides.

How It Works

  • Schedule a one-on-one appointment with a librarian. We’ll train you on the equipment of your choice. You’ll sign a release form, receive a certificate, and be authorized to use that equipment on your own.  
  • Schedule your work session. You may book a piece of equipment for 2 hours at a time.  Arrive for your work session and check-in at the adult information desk. We'll set up the equipment for you and you'll work on your project independently.
