We collect, classify, preserve and exhibit children’s art in both written and oral forms including (but not limited to) drawings, stories and submissions in any available format. We educate and raise awareness of the importance of children’s artefacts in social, historical, educational and psychological spheres.
We further education while promoting studies that consider the social, historical, educational and psychological aspects of children’s artefacts and allowing access to these studies to the general public.
