Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection of Afro-American History and Literature

A Guide to Microform Holdings

Introductory Note
The microform holdings guide will facilitate access and enable patrons to see at a glance what is available in the diversified microform collection.

The microform holdings of the Harsh Research Collection provide a means for patrons to do research in collections that, if not for microform technology, would be difficult to obtain. At widely separated locations in the United States, such as New York City; Washington, DC; Atlanta; New Orleans; Tuskegee, Alabama; and Hampton, Virginia, important collections exist for those researching African American history topics. Microform holdings in this collection facilitate patrons’ research needs by giving broad access to a wide range of materials in one location.

Collections that are listed have individual guides created by the repository or by the microform company. Some guides are in hard copy, and others are located on the microform itself. In a few cases, no guide is available.
