The mission of the
Black Mountain College Project is to ensure that the history and influence
of Black Mountain College are preserved and documented for future
generations. The Project was formed with the conviction that the story of
this unique educational experiment is of lasting interest and that the
memories of those who taught and studied at Black Mountain College are
critical to an understanding of the dynamics and accomplishments of that
community.
The foundation for the Project's work is the
extensive body of research heretofore assembled by the Project's director,
Mary Emma Harris. For more than thirty years, Ms. Harris has been studying
Black Mountain College. Her research includes, among other material, more
than two hundred taped and/or videotaped interviews with community
members.
The primary vehicle for the
dissemination of information about Black Mountain College is the project
website. When completed, it will be an extensive resource for those
interested in Black Mountain College.
The specific goals of the Project include:
-
The preservation of primary documents such as photographs, student
notes, correspondence and journals.
-
The transcription and releasing of interviews.
-
The preparation of faculty and student biographies.
-
The creation of a catalogue of objects and works created at the
college.
-
The dissemination of information about Black Mountain College
through publication and other means.
