Scope and Contents
A collaborative exhibition between the Anacostia Museum and Lucy E. Moten Elementary School in Southeast Washington, D.C.

Public Schools Career Development Program and the Greater Southeast Center for the Aging/Project Keen.

Objects and collectors were photographed and loan agreements completed. The records include student writings on ther colletions, describing why, how and what they collected. The exhibition was held in the Program Room at the museum from May 31, 1994 to June 19, 1994.
These records document the planning, organizing, execution, and promotion of the exhibition. Materials include correspondence, research files, artist's statements, brochures, floor plans, and exhibit labels.
