At The Wright, history isn’t just displayed — it’s safeguarded for generations to come.
Our archives house an extraordinary collection of African American historical materials, from letters penned by Malcolm X to rare artifacts dating back to the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Each item is a testament to resilience, resistance, and cultural evolution, and our preservation team works tirelessly to ensure their longevity.
Using cutting-edge conservation techniques and climate-controlled facilities, we meticulously stabilize, restore, and protect delicate documents, photographs, textiles, and more. Our archivists adhere to the highest professional standards, employing advanced cataloging systems, digitization initiatives, and strategic storage solutions to keep history within reach for scholars, researchers, and future generations.
Whether carefully handling fragile manuscripts or documenting untold stories, our work is driven by a singular mission: to protect and amplify the voices of the past so they continue shaping the future.
