OpenDurham.org is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of our community. Run by our parent nonprofit, Preservation Durham, the site requires routine maintenance and upgrades.

Your support allows us to maintain this valuable resource, expand our archives, and keep the history of Durham accessible to everyone.
Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference and makes you a member of Preservation Durham. Help us keep Durham's history alive for future generations.

Unfortunately, there were so many we know about. I can only imagine the horrors hidden by a culture of lies and the passage of time.
On a positive note, within 15 years the first Durham public school was integrated.
