Abstract
ABSTRACT The Mount Clare Museum House in Baltimore, Maryland has potential to offer a new approach to community service in Baltimore inspired by archaeological findings, but one that is different from a traditional historic house model. Facing challenges surrounding relevance and institutional survival, the site as a museum sits at a crossroads. The site managers of Mount Clare, a former plantation, historically erased and muted Black histories. However, those histories now drive the rejuvenation and reinvention of the museum. The move of the archaeological collections to the city’s control opens possibilities for more connected archaeological and community service program with the people who live around and use Carroll Park.
位于马里兰州巴尔的摩市的克莱尔山博物馆(Mount Clare Museum House)受到考古发现的启发,有可能为巴尔的摩市提供一种新的社区服务方式,但它与传统的历史建筑模式不同。面对相关性和机构生存的挑战,该基地作为博物馆坐落在十字路口。克莱尔山(Mount Clare)曾经是一个种植园,这里的管理人员在历史上抹去了黑人的历史,淡化了黑人的历史。然而,这些历史现在推动着博物馆的复兴和改造。将考古收藏转移到城市管理,为与居住和使用卡罗尔公园的人们建立更多联系的考古和社区服务项目提供了可能性。
期刊介绍:
Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage provides a focal point for peer-reviewed publications in interdisciplinary studies in archaeology, history, material culture, and heritage dynamics concerning African descendant populations and cultures across the globe. The Journal invites articles on broad topics, including the historical processes of culture, economics, gender, power, and racialization operating within and upon African descendant communities. We seek to engage scholarly, professional, and community perspectives on the social dynamics and historical legacies of African descendant cultures and communities worldwide. The Journal publishes research articles and essays that review developments in these interdisciplinary fields.
