(PROJECT URL: www.marchonmilwaukee.uwm.edu) Launched on September 16, 2010, the MOMCRHP is a digital archive of primary sources and contextual materials related to 1960s Milwaukee civil rights history. The digital resource features multi-format, fully searchable items, including text documents, oral histories, photographs, and video clips. The project sprang from a community desire to create a more widely available web-based resource to ensure that the history of local struggles for social justice would be accessible to a broad public and more easily integrated into high school and college curricula. I initiated and have managed the project since the spring of 2009 and brought together a project team of students, librarians, and archivists, with our community partner, the Milwaukee Public Library. To fund the project I sought three grants (2009-2011 Community/University Partnership grants and a 2009 Undergraduate Research Experience Grant). The second phase of the project focused on promotion, outreach, engagement and curriculum development, with community partner Arts@Large, a non-profit that bring creative expression to public school students in Milwaukee.
