In March 2022, the Black Cultural Archives will be launching the Melba Wilson Collection, as part of their project to catalogue Melba Wilson’s papers. The collection spans over 40 years of her work in national and regional mental health programmes, policy units and services, including grassroots and community activism alongside formal policy work and leadership.

DTA spent some time with Melba to discuss her work and the importance of it being archived as a resource for now and tomorrow.
