CAW worked with Milwaukee Hip Hop Archive to understand the scope of our collections and make decisions about preservation, digitization, and accessibility.

A core component of this project is its focus on education and empowerment. TRUE Skool Interns were directly involved in the archival sessions, learning the process of preserving history.

Through this project, the contributions of Milwaukee's entire Hip Hop community are being recognized and celebrated. Period.
