Abstract

One of the best ways for archives to maintain operations and support learning and scholarly research is to actively raise awareness of the treasures they preserve and make accessible to all. By collaborating with other GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) institutions to exhibit visually compelling materials, archives and special collections can expand services and benefits to their communities and institutions, locally and nationally. This article describes how Southern Illinois University Carbondale exhibited ground-breaking art in the Caresse Crosby Papers to amplify the contributions of African American and other diverse artists to the development of modern art.
