HARLEM 1900-1940
http://www.si.umich.edu/CHICO/Harlem
The CHICO Project, in collaboration with the Schomburg Center for Research
in Black Culture, introduces a unique virtual exhibit and gateway for the
Harlem Renaissance. At the core of the exhibit is an online presentation
of the Schomburg's compelling portfolio, "Harlem 1900-1940", featuring over
30 archival photographs with accompanying text and lesson plans for
educators. The website extends this portfolio with an interactive timeline
and database of artists, writers and musicians. Both the database and
timeline are in early stages of development, and will continue to expand
during the coming months to include additional
biographies and musical examples.
CHICO (Cultural Heritage Initiative for Community Outreach) is a nonprofit
project at the School of Information, University of Michigan. Our goal is
to work in cooperation with diverse communities and cultural organizations
to facilitate online multicultural initiatives. For more information,

at SI, or Project Manager Sam Cronk ([log in to unmask])
