Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library

The Blair-Caldwell Library spans 40,000 square feet across three floors, housing over 35,000 resources in English and Spanish for research and education.

Opening in 2003, this institution emerged from the vision of Denver's first African American mayor Wellington Webb and his wife Wilma to document regional Black history.

The library maintains collections of personal papers, publications, photographs, and memorabilia documenting African American experiences throughout the Rocky Mountain region.

Researchers and visitors can access rare books, historic newspapers, microfilm documents, computers, meeting spaces, and benefit from two-hour parking facilities.

The third floor museum presents exhibits about African American history in Denver, including original documents such as Robert Smith's manumission papers.
