The NAACP – Berkshire Branch Oral History Project, a collaboration of the NAACP Berkshire Branch and the Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center, was the subject of a beautiful exhibit at the Berkshire Museum, several years ago. At the same time, we worked with the Museum staff and two University of Massachusetts graduate history interns to make an online exhibit, a replica. That exhibit is no longer on the Museum website, and so just in time, we have a new archival and publicly available home for the collection.
The Boston Public Library’s Digital and Online Services professionals have brought the materials into their digital collection.
The NAACP-Berkshire Branch Oral History Project is now available in Digital Commonwealth:
