Amistad Research Center
official site: amistad research center.org The Center is located in Tilton Hall on the Tulane University Campus at 6823 St. Charles Avenue, directly across from Audubon Park. Amistad is a twenty-minute streetcar drive from downtown New Orleans. The Amistad Research Center's art collection consists of outstanding examples of African and African American art. The collection is particularly strong in the area of African textiles with dozens of splendid examples of raffia pile cloth (kasai velvet) as well as beaded objects made during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by artisans from the Kuba kingdom in Zaire. The majority of the additional African objects are from West Africa, and include masks, carved figures and posts, musical instruments, calabash art, utilitarian and sacred containers and vessels, basketry, ceremonial clothing, cast metal objects and figures and iron currency. The Amistad Research Center's ties to the American Missionary Association (AMA) can be traced to the AMA's roots in the coalition of abolitionists who came to the defense of the Amistad Africans. The Center is housed in Tulane University's Tilton Memorial Hall. From its beginnings as the first archives documenting the modern civil rights movement, the Amistad Research Center has experienced considerable expansion and its mission continues to evolve. The history of slavery, race relations, African American community development, and the civil rights movement have received new and thought-provoking interpretations as the result of scholarly research using Amistad's resources. The holdings include the papers of artists, educators, authors, business leaders, clergy, lawyers, factory workers, farmers and musicians. The collection contains approximately 250,000 photographs dating from 1859. Literary manuscript holdings contain letters and original manuscripts from prominent Harlem Renaissance writers and poets. The Center is guardian to more than 800 works of African and African American art, including works by several internationally renowned 19th and 20th century African American masters.
