Philadelphia Doll Museum

A $400,000 grant from the Ruth Foundation for the Arts will preserve the legacy of the Philadelphia Doll Museum.  Now closed, the museum was founded by Barbara Whiteman in 1988. Whiteman is seen on the far right in the above screenshot from Inquirer.com, where the full article can be read for free (for a limited amount of clicks before a popup to subscribe to the Inquirer appears. 

After scrolling down at the following link, read about the foundation's involvement at the Ruth Foundation for the Arts website here. There is also a slideshow and a video about the Philadephia Doll Museum embedded in the slideshow.

Museum Exposure

In January 2021, I founded DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum with the goal of establishing the largest online database of historically, culturally, and aesthetically pleasing antique-to-modern and one-of-a-kind Black dolls with a 1000-doll installation goal. To date, the virtual museum holds 472 installations with some installations that curate more than one doll. 

Several media outlets have featured the museum and some of its installations in live interviews and print articles. The most recent media exposure is the article, "Babies from DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum" published in the Winter 2023 issue of UFDC's Doll News. 

Dolls selected for the article were chosen using the search box on the museum website and entering the word, "baby."

If you have not subscribed to DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum, do so today. Go here and enter your email address in the Subscribe box at the bottom of the page. On the Welcome page (at the previous link), there are also links to follow the museum on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Thank you and happy dolling!

Presenting DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum

Antique, vintage, modern, and one-of-a-kind black dolls

On January 17, 2021, via Zoom, I conducted a PowerPoint narrated slideshow presentation for Motor City Doll Club of my new Black-doll engagement, DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum™. DeeBeeGee’s Virtual Black Doll Museum™ endeavors to preserve the history of black dolls and to document past, current, and future black dolls. 

This online museum, which is open 24/7 curates antique, vintage, modern, and one-of-a-kind black dolls through photographs, detailed descriptions, links to additional references, and videos. 

Currently, 97 dolls have been curated and installed. The goal is to curate 1000 dolls from my personal collection and from the collections of fellow collectors.

Find out how to have your doll curated by sending an email to virtualblackdollmuseum@gmail.com, but for now, visit the site and add your email address to the Follow This Blog field (in the footer of any page or post) to be updated on new installations.

While there, read the Home and About pages for navigation tips and for the purpose and goals of the museum.

Thank you!

By the way, the Black Doll Collecting blog isn't going anywhere.

Happy MLK Day!
