The Black Baltimore Digital Database (BBDD) is part of Charm City Cultural Cultivation a non-profit 5013c organization. Conceived by founder, Baltimore native, Visual artist, and educator Derrick Adams it is a collaborative counter–institutional space for collecting, storing and safekeeping the data of local archival initiatives, from the more traditional to the experimental. BBDD will foreground archival projects that feature rich and under-recognized contributions of Black folks in and around Baltimore, Maryland, and provide access, engagement and a sense of agency to citizens, neighbors and visitors.
