On-Line Academy
Welcome to the On-Line Academy.
In 1999-2000 the Anacostia Museum and Center for African American History and Culture renovated its facility to focus on the collection, storage and study of artifacts. This on-line academy is presented as part of the museum's reemphasis of our commitment to collections development and to the study of African American material culture.
The Academy features a series of people offering their expertise and sharing their insights on different subjects within the field of material culture. Collectors, preservers, scholars, and educators conduct virtual lectures, workshops, and demonstrations for your enjoyment and education. We want you to use the information presented here along with the database of artifacts in the museum's permanent collection to think about what role material culture plays in helping us to come to a better understanding of the African American historical and cultural experience.
In the future we will continue to add new components to the existing discussions and educational material being presented.
We hope that you enjoy the information and the materials and artifacts offered on the On-Line Academy.
