The Black Archives Collections

The majority of the center’s archival holdings consist of records relating to the history of Africans and African Americans, especially their institutions and organizations.

The Meek-Eaton Black Archives Research Center and Museum has an impressive holding of manuscripts, rare books, journals, magazines, maps, newspapers, and photographs. Individuals from an array of professions, such as businesses, social, civic and religious groups, donated the majority of our museum and archival material. Some of these records are unique resources that are not available at other research facilities.
