The Barnwell/Robinson Family Archives

This was the MITH Networked Associate Fellowship project of Ysaye Maria Barnwell, a renowned musician, composer, actress teacher and choral clinician in African American cultural performance. Barnwell’s project aimed to produce a multimedia digital presentation about her family, which eventually became the Ellis Barnwell Robinson Archives . The fellowship also provided support for Barnwell to prepare materials for an exhibit with the potential for traveling, and to prepare materials for inclusion in a book of photos and letters.
