Historian Sherri Cummings Hired as Professor & RIBHS Director of Community Engagement

Last year, Rhode Island College partnered with the R.I. Black Heritage Society (RIBHS) to help preserve and manage their archives, which are now being stored in Building 8 on the East campus. Thousands of items – letters, photographs, quilts and other historical material – will need to be inventoried, cataloged and digitized, with the goal of sharing these archives with the Rhode Island community.
