EXPLORING ST. AUGUSTINE’S POST-EMANCIPATION BLACK SCHOOLS: AN ARCHAEOLOGY POP-UP EXHIBIT

The City of St. Augustine is seeking qualified teams to provide professional cultural resource consultant and graphic designer services for a heritage education project. The project aims to explore, promote, and preserve the history of Black schools in the Lincolnville National Register Historic District of St. Augustine. The selected team will create a temporary pop-up exhibit and website to educate and engage a broad audience about the archaeology of two Black schools investigated by the City of St. Augustine Archaeology Program. The project requires the incorporation of archival records, archaeological research, oral histories, and artifact collections to present a comprehensive narrative about post-emancipation Black education in St. Augustine. The key aspects of the project include: • Creating a travelling pop-up exhibit with freestanding banners, interpretative signs, and an artifact collection • Developing an interactive StoryMap accessible on both mobile and desktop platforms • Providing Cultural Resource services for each or both of the projects within the Scope: Exhibit Design and Historical Research
