Founded in 2020, the Canada Black Music Archives (CBMA) is part of the historical record and our continuing memory as Canadians. As a digital archive, we are accessible to everyone with online access and will become an important educational tool. The CBMA provides important evidence of past and continuing contributions of Black Canadian musicians. A key objective of the CBMA is to increase the sense of identity and belonging in a place where Black Canadians have lived and contributed to furthering Canada’s development for over 400 years.
