Louis Armstrong House Museum

The Louis Armstrong House Museum will solicit oral histories from the local community about Louis and Lucille Armstrong to add to the Armstrong Archives and utilize in expanded programming. Located in the former neighborhood of Louis Armstrong, the museum staff will gather accounts of the Armstrong families from surviving community members about Armstrong’s life, work, and community impact. Staff will record one-on-one and group interviews, catalog those interviews within a searchable database, and make the database accessible online for public use. As a result of the project, staff will use content from the interviews to inform museum programming, a digital exhibit, and community workshops.
