Fifteen years after his death, rap icon Tupac Shakur has been honored by the opening of a collection in his name at the Atlanta University Center, a consortium of four historically black colleges and universities.
The collection includes 30 boxes of Shakur's written and video work, personal letters and memorabilia as well as work by Shakur's family members and collaborators, according to the center's press release. Artifacts within the collection date from 1969 to 2008.
The collection is intended for research purposes, according to the press release. It is housed in the Robert W. Woodruff Library in Atlanta.
Students celebrated the opening of the collection at a block party Sept. 13, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution blog post.
