National Jazz Museum in Harlem

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem will celebrate the “jazz in Harlem experience” by developing two exhibitions: a free in-person experience and a digital exhibition featuring interviews with and artifacts sourced from Harlem residents. Staff will host two community artifact drives where historians and digitization experts will review photographs and correspondence and record oral history interviews with selected residents. The project will serve people of all ages and backgrounds, from Harlem residents to viewers around the world, and will tell a more complete story of music in Harlem over the past 100 years.
