The Dana C. Chandler Jr. papers document his work as an artist and activist and his service on the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity. The majority of the collection is comprised of METCO materials from Chandler's decade of service on the METCO Board of Directors. The METCO files include reports on education in Massachusetts, memoranda, minutes, agendas, correspondence between Chandler or METCO staff, and officers from area school districts, parents, and officials from local government. The files also include proposals, reports, handbooks, press, and subject files regarding two Boston-area school districts and the Tri Arts Project, a program promoting the appreciation of multi-ethnic art in public schools. The Recruitment Assistance file documents the mostly METCO-funded hiring of new staff in schools with METCO students. All of the materials pertaining to art created by Chandler from 1974 to 1993 in his African American Master Artists-in-Residence Program studio can be found in the AAMARP collection. All correspondence, teaching materials, memoranda, and administrative records generated by Chandler during his tenure as director of AAMARP can also be found in the AAMARP collection.
