The Meek-Eaton Black Archives Research Center and Museum collects and preserves African American history and culture in the Southeastern United States to support research and public education.
In 1971, the Florida Legislature mandated the creation of a repository to “serve the state by collecting and preserving source material on and about African Americans from ancient to present times.” This mandate gave birth to what would later become the Black Archives. Delve into our history, heritage and the visionaries who laid the foundation for the creation of the Meek-Eaton Black Archives Research Center and Museum.
The Meek-Eaton Black Archives is one of the premier research centers on African American history in the Southeastern region.
