Our objectives around strategic activities in Education, Research, Outreach and Community Engagement are integral to the work of making the Archives part of the story of London and beyond. The centrepiece of our public-facing work is an annual conference (since 2006), held at LMA, developed with volunteers and drawing from the materials and testimonies found in the Archives. We meet our aims by producing cultural digital projects, events, workshops, and love exhibitions. This plan of action enables us to continue to document and amplify the diverse perspectives of Black heritage. Written by authors, poets, academics and community leaders from across the African diaspora, we are now cataloguing a vast collection of Black publications: our 141 Archive Digital project that will form the basis for a rare library of archives for the Jessica Huntley Research Centre, located in Ealing, the home of the Huntleys.

Part of developing creative heritage skills, is the opportunity to immerse students in the story of Black writing, providing them with access to the wide range of writers from across the African Diaspora. By continuing the legacy of their pioneering work, through sharing our skills, building on collaborations with heritage organisations, FHALMA continues to work closely with our partners at LMA and others such as Gunnersbury Park & Museum, Black Cultural Archives to discover fresh ways to expose the narratives and value of the archives to young people and across the generations.
