About Us

Our Mission

The East Baltimore Historical Library preserves and shares the rich history of a community that continues to rise and yield strong families and prominent individuals who have impacted the city, state and nation. EBHL:

 

  • Collects memories and make them accessible to current and future generations.
  • Collaborates with local libraries, youth, community and arts organizations, creative artists, historians and educators to archive and continually reconstruct the history and culture of the community.
  • Facilitates education by helping young people explore how information, art, social movement and political issues flow throughout and within their neighborhoods and the world.


EBHL is a place where young people and adults can gain knowledge of a strong, resilient community that continues to demonstrate the will to survive and thrive. Armed with the knowledge of their rich and proud heritage, young people of East Baltimore will discover that “all things are possible.” It is also a healing place where elders can reflect and share neighborhood history while celebrating the community’s vibrant past that laid the foundation for its future.
