ARCHIVAL HOLDINGS

The majority of the center’s archival holdings consist of records relating to the history of Africans and African Americans, especially their institutions and organizations. The center has an impressive holding of manuscripts, rare books, journals, magazines, maps, newspapers, and photographs. Individuals from an array of professions, as well as, businesses, social, civic and religious groups donated much of our museum and archival material. Some of these records are unique resources that are not available at other research facilities.
