About this Collection
This collection consists of photographs, brochures and programs, newspaper clippings and other ephemera selected from the Quinn Research Center. In 2004, Carolyne Edwards and her husband Bill Edwards founded the Quinn Research Center as a tribute to the legacy of Carolyne's uncle, Dr. Alfred T. Quinn (1922-2003), a prominent Black educator and community leader in the Santa Monica Bay Area.Over several decades, in addition to Dr. Quinn's personal archives, the Edwardses have amassed an eclectic collection of materials that encapsulates a wide range of Black experiences in Santa Monica from the early 1900s to the present, be it the once-vibrant Broadway community, the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, or the community's charity and fraternal organizations.
