The AAAS was a comprehensive look at the treatment and depiction of African American history in IR2 Park History documents, websites, and some interpretive materials. It was developed by the Park History program through an interdisciplinary team that worked closely with the parks, the CRPS division, the WASO Park History program, and the consultant, Historical Research Associates, Inc. (HRA). The HRA team analyzed over 300 reports, and over 1,300 web pages, and surveyed over 120 employees or partners of the SER and IR2 parks. The study offers a frank assessment and recommendations for future research needs and related partnerships and outreach needs to better interpret the experiences of Americans of African descent. These recommendations address needs at the regional level and at individual parks. The study offered general recommendations on historical research applicable to all parks in the region, as well as by discipline or report type, topics, and subregional groupings that focused on web content needs, community outreach, staffing, and training. The study also presented park-by-park assessments and recommendations in a format that is assessable and usable by the parks.
