New African American History Library Research Guide

Check out the Library’s newest Research Pathfinder: “African American History.” The Pathfinder highlights not just books, ebooks and articles, but images, videos and other less-frequented resources that may stimulate interest or support research.

 It also links to “Historical African American Newspapers Available Online” a related guide listing of over 65 newspapers of interest for African American History - organized alphabetically, chronologically and geographically.  This list - already one of the most comprehensive on the internet - is dynamic and growing.  More entries will be added as we uncover them.

Research Pathfinders guide students to library resources targeted at either a specific topic or a Marist course.   Faculty can request a Pathfinder for a specific course and research assignment or discipline specific subject, e.g. “Advertising” or “Painters of Florence”.  Click here for some recent examples.  Contact your Library liaison for more information on having one created for you, or call the Reference Desk x3292, or email us via Ask A Librarian
