MARU will allow researchers to go into the field/street and assist people throughout the Midwest with sharing their material for subsequent evaluation at the University of Michigan as well as online. The big dream is to have regionally stationed MARU's throughout the United States so that we can go into relevant communities to collect as well as to share what amazing history we have co-created together.
MARU at Michigan will be simple: sign it out, assemble what you need and then go make history. First efforts should be taking place in the new year. More coming.
