The BAM Hamm Archives tell the 150-year history of BAM, but they also tell a story of the people and communities—civic and artistic—that made BAM what it is today. Over 25,000 images and documents have been entered into the digital collection, and the digital BAM Hamm Archives have been accessible for public use as of 2016. BAM Hamm Archives Director Sharon Lehner and Archivist Camille Lawrence discuss archival cataloging techniques, initiatives, and inclusive community-based projects happening at BAM.
