The Community Archives Center for Tacoma

The Tacoma Public Library (TPL) requests a 2-year National Leadership Project Grant (Community Catalyst) in the amount of $247,462 to develop, implement, and evaluate the Community Archives Center for Tacoma. The project will bring together community groups, organizations, and individuals to carry out a community-driven and participatory process to broaden participation and inclusion within cultural heritage collections. This will create a model for institutions in small- and mid-sized urban areas seeking to enter into collaborative partnerships with diverse groups to produce more equitable archives.
