Newly available to Loyola researchers are three digital collections for research on African American and Caribbean history.
African American Newspapers, 1827-1998 and African American Periodicals, 1825-1995 provide access to content published in more than 270 newspapers as well as 170 magazines and journals published nationwide. These collections provide unique insight into the Antebellum South, Jim Crow Era, Great Migration, Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights movement, and beyond.
The third collection, Caribbean Newspapers, 1718-1876: From the American Antiquarian Society, includes more than 140 papers published on 22 islands. It is a valuable resource for the study of colonial history, the Atlantic slave trade, international commerce, and New World slavery.
We hope that these collections will be used by students and faculty members to discover our national and global past through the analysis of primary sources and firsthand accounts. Your questions are welcome! Please contact us. Discover how at libraries.LUC.edu/ask.
