The Collaborative Archive from the African Diaspora (CAAD) is a shared archive of manuscripts, oral histories, images, books, archives, maps, film, scrapbooks, posters, and other ephemera documenting African American and Black history, culture and experiences in South Florida and other Florida destinations and the Caribbean. The CAAD Partnership is made up of institutions and agencies dedicated to the preservation and access of these materials and the development of educational resources broadly accessible to the global community. The finding aids and digital assets contained in this Archive are contributed to the CAAD to expand access to these materials by Alliance institutions and agencies. CAAD partners retain all ownership of these materials.
