The Afro-American Historical Association was founded in 1974 and is chartered by the New York State Department of Education. The primary mission of the Association is to preserve historical sources that pertain to Afro-Americans in Western New York and to promote research and scholarship that has to do with the life and history of Afro-Americans in New York State. The Monroe Fordham Center at Buffalo State College currently holds the corporate records for the Afro-American Historical Association from the year 1972 until 1992.
