NubiaNet has an interesting history. It developed initially as a collaboration between a parent (Ron Bailey) and a public school teacher (Marcia Baynes) who taught Bailey's daughter Malika in 6th grade. Their goal was to develop an outreach effort that could develop curriculum resources and inform community residents about Nubia, the focus of a permanent gallery that was being opened in Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1994.

As a result of that effort, many activities have been completed. Scholars, teachers, students, and community residents have participated in our activities and have played key roles in bringing knowledge about Nubia to classroom and community settings. The following links will share some of the highlights of our Nubia work.
