The Africana Library provides a specialized collection concentrating on the social and political dimensions of the history and culture of peoples of African descent. The collection supports the curriculum of the Africana Studies and Research Center and sustained, independent study. It includes basic books, complete collections of works of important writers, and highly selective research materials that complement the collections housed in Olin Library. The Africana Library’s documentation center contains valuable primary source materials, including copies of rare monographs, manuscripts, newspapers, and journal publications on microfilm and microfiche. Those resources focus on especially important material on the American civil rights and Black Power movements.
