Hesburgh Libraries

This collection is based upon James P. Danky's African-American Newspapers and Periodicals: A National Bibliography (Harvard, 1998) and drawn from holdings of the Wisconsin Historical Society. It features news, commentary, advertisements, literature, drawings and photographs, more than 170 periodicals from 26 states and includes, but is not limited to, academic and political journals, commercial magazines, institutional newsletters, organizations' bulletins, and annual reports. Containing titles from every region of the United States, this collection goes beyond simply offering opinions on issues and events of the day to also capture the voice of African American society and culture.
