Slavery: Source Material and Critical Literature. [1971- ]

Location: McKeldin Library
Call Number: Microfiche UNCATALOGED


Description

This collection is based on Dumond's bibliography, but it also includes source material classed under the Library of Congress "Slavery" subject heading. The Dumond book is comprised of items written and circulated by activists in the Antislavery movement. The majority of titles were published in the sixty years preceding the Civil War; but some titles date from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.

The microforms are cataloged separately in the card catalog by main entry.

Although the collection is based partially on the Dumond book, the microfiche are not keyed to Dumond's entries.

The collection includes publications of the American Anti-Slavery Society, histories of the underground railroad, censuses of slavery in the United States and speeches by John Quincy Adams, John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay and Cassius M. Clay. Material about slavery in other parts of the world is also included.

Titles in this collection do not duplicate items included in the other microform collections published by Lost Cause Press, e.g., Anti-Slavery Propaganda in the Oberlin College Library, Travels in the Confederate States, Travels in the Old South I, II, III.
