Editorial Reviews

Some 800 entries detail previously inaccessible information on the African American and African holdings in many departments at Harvard, including material from the former Radcliffe College. Listings indicate what each collection entails and where it's held. Each entry provides dates, the size of the collection (from a single folder or photograph to hundreds of boxes), and a brief description. The collections cover a large variety of subjects, such as slaves and slavery, freedmen, the black family, the civil rights movement, black literature, segregation and desegregation, African authors, and affirmative action. Items include catalogs, maps, sermons, personal and family papers, deeds and wills, manuscripts, slave narratives, account books, art works, sheet music, and audio recordings.
