St. Mark's Community Center Ethnic Heritage Project records
Collection
Identifier: 327
Content Description
The records of the St. Mark's Community Center Ethnic Heritage Project contains manuscripts, videocassettes, audiotapes, color photograph transparencies, and index cards. The project sought to "complete an oral history documentary of the black Creoles and non-Creoles of the Treme/7th Ward area of New Orleans." Those interviewed for the project were long-term residents of the area, and they discussed notable inhabitants and cultural traditions of the area. A related publication, Quartee Red Beans, Quartee Rice: Stories of the Treme/7th Ward, edited by Donna L. Davis, accompanied the collection, but is now cataloged in Amistad's library collection.
