In preparation for a landmark exhibition opening in 2027 on La experiencia negra en los Adirondacks, the Adirondack Experience is hosting collecting events around New York State.

Your objects tell the full story of Black life in the Adirondacks. We are seeking a wide range of materials, including photographs, souvenirs, letters, postcards, recipes, clothing, and video clips from the Adirondacks. Any object or memory that holds a piece of the story is a vital piece of this history. Come visit with Project Curator Charles Clark III at his Utica collecting event held at Utica Royalties. Help us tell your story and be part of this upcoming exhibit!

Can’t make it but have something to contribute? Fill out this online form.
