A World Doll Day Event in Massachusetts


The Black Gold Doll Club of New England's World Doll Day event celebrates the 40th anniversary of World Doll Day as the above flyer illustrates.

The Black Gold Doll Club of New England is a prominent Boston-based collector organization dedicated to the charitable and educational preservation of doll collecting, with a special focus on representation and Black history.

 

Key Highlights and Activities:

  • Education & Community: The club regularly hosts workshops, genealogy programs, and exhibit displays in collaboration with the Boston Public Library and local cultural centers.
  • World Doll Day: The organization famously hosts free "Adopt a Doll" events, where pre-loved dolls and toys are given to children alongside official adoption certificates.
  • Junior Collectors: The club actively sponsors and supports junior doll-collecting branches to pass the hobby down to the next generation.
  • Museum Connections: Members work closely with institutions like the National Black Doll Museum in nearby Attleboro, MA, to celebrate the cultural significance of Black dolls through the ages. 
The above information about the Black Gold Doll Club was gathered from an online search.
