African American Studies  Tags: primary_sources newspapers  

The American Theological Library Association has completed Phase I of a two-year project to microfilm more than 170 historically significant African American religious periodicals. Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, this significant project involves more than 50 contributing libraries. The titles included are foundational for understanding the development of the African American church in the twentieth century.  

Supplementing the periodical literature are titles from two other key areas: (1) annual reports and publications of African American churches and (2) reports from African American social service agencies.
