Community Resources

The San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM) serves as an essential resource for researching and understanding Black history in San Antonio and South Texas. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, SAAACAM maintains a comprehensive digital archive documenting African American life, culture, and contributions from the Spanish colonial period to the present day. Through its community-based approach, SAAACAM collects, preserves, and provides access to authentic artifacts, oral histories, and documents that might otherwise be lost to time.

Located at La Villita (218 South Presa, San Antonio, TX), SAAACAM offers:
- Digital exhibits and archives
- Educational programming and classes
- Research partnerships with major universities
- Community documentation projects
- Cultural preservation initiatives
- Oral history collections
- Black History Riverwalk Tours

For researchers, students, and faculty, SAAACAM provides invaluable primary sources and contextual materials through its partnership with Texas A&M-SA University's Library System. The organization's focus on grassroots documentation and community engagement makes it particularly valuable for projects exploring local history, genealogy, and African American cultural heritage in Texas.
