African American Documentary Resources – Enhancing African American Documentary Resources in the Southern Historical Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill

From 2006 to 2012, the staff of the Southern Historical Collection ran a website, African American Research Portal, designed to flag, contextualize, and categorize all of our manuscript collections with information on African American history and culture.

While we have since stopped adding to this curated list of collections, we understand the value of this resource for researchers taking a first look into our collections.

The links listed below will take you to a list of related collections, while controlling for African Americans as a topic. For instance, you can click 18th century and see most of our collections that document African Americans in the 18th century.

Please remember that many collections have come into the building or been made available since 2012, so consult the library catalog or a reference librarian for a more complete view of our holdings.
