Black Archives Research Center and Museum
Housed in the columned library built by Andrew Carnegie in 1908, and set on the grounds of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), this research center and museum displays one of the nation's most extensive collections of African-American artifacts, as well as such treasures as a 500-piece Ethiopian cross collection. The archives contain one of the world's largest collections of African-American history. Visitors can listen to tapes of gospel music and of elderly people reminiscing about the past. FAMU was founded in 1887, primarily as a black institution. Today it's acclaimed for its business, engineering, and pharmacy schools.
