The retention of two staff positions at the Association for Cultural Equity and the hiring of additional consultants and services to update and upgrade the online Alan Lomax Archive as well as produce a virtual exhibit entitled “Trouble Won’t Last Always.” 

We will update and upgrade Association for Cultural Equity's online Alan Lomax Archive to a new, stable platform, allowing for continued and enhanced public access to the thousands of recordings therein, while improving the existing content by finalizing corrections to our existing metadata, and creating a special digital exhibit at its launch around the themes of hardship, resilience, and transcendence.
