From AMM:
Concerned about the lack of documented evidence for the many legends about local Underground Railroad (UGRR) activity in their area, the Birmingham Museum initiated contact with four nearby historical societies to lead a collaborative pilot project to conduct research on their shared local UGRR heritage. This multi-community collaborative approach brought together a collective of small organizations that are usually isolated from one another behind a common goal for the benefit of all. Find out how they did it and what they learned along the way.
