Did you know that many museums display approximately 25% of their entire collection? The RRAAM is not an exception to this statistic.
The museum staff and board members have worked diligently to increase accessibility to the RRAAM's collection. On October 1, 2014, the RRAAM Digital Outreach Program rolled out with the goal of taking the collection to the people. The RRAAM Digital Outreach program, powered by blogger, allows visitors to become actively engaged. Visitors can listen to oral histories, view documents and photographs and leave comments.
There are currently two exhibits available to the public through Digital Outreach Program. Click on one of the links below to enter the RRAAM portal.

Sharing these collections enriches the themes of the museum's current collections and contribute to the body of work exhibited. It further enhances the interpretation of education and the lives of African Americans where little may be known about the rural towns and communities during the early 20th century in Louisiana. This is a valuable resource for this 21st century researcher. Beryl F. Hunter, curator
