Schomburg Collection
- Location: McKeldin Library
Call Number: Microfilm
Automated Access:
- All titles have separate entries in the online catalog, but only a small percentage of the titles can be retrieved by entering the keyword "Schomburg." The Mckeldin Periodicals Room has compiled a notebook listing all Schomburg items that we own. It is kept at the Periodicals desk.
Description
The collection is very comprehensive in scope. It contains books, newspapers, magazines, speeches and letters written by or about Blacks.
All items are catalogued separately. The various journals and newspapers are in chronological order..
The microfilm we own represents only a small percentage of the Schomburg Collection listed in the Dictionary Catalog, and the microfilm does not file together at a single call number since items are separately catalogued. Those titles we do own are best identified by an author, title, or subject search in Victor, or by consulting the Schomburg notebook at the Periodicals Room desk.
