Beginning in 1946, the NCNW took deliberate steps to create a museum and archive at the Council House. In addition to collecting documents of earlier eras, they preserved records from their own era. Today, the National Archives of Black Women’s history stands as the most extensive collection of African American women’s archival material in the United States. Below are just a few of the thousands of documents that make up that archive. We invite you to explore them.
