The repository is housed in the James H. Wilson Building, a national register historic structure on the campus of Alabama A&M University restored for the use of the State Black Archives Research Center and Museum.



Summary
The bill establishing the State Black Archives Research Center & Museum was passed by the State Legislature in 1987, and the repository opened in 1990. Its mission is outreach oriented and statewide in scope and therefore highly consonant with the land-grant concept of the University. The general goals are to encourage greater awareness of the achievements and contributions of African Americans and the role they have played in American society and the world, and to provide a better basis for understanding racial and cultural differences.
