Though
Black History Month is officially over, we are always seeking out “new”
research to help us learn about and identify African American ancestors.
As February
wound down, I received news about 3 neat new NC databases you might want to
check out.
1. Behind the Veil: Documenting African American Life in the Jim
Crow South (Duke Digital Collections)
2. Two Great New Resources on African American History (N.C.
Department of Cultural Resources)
And, so you don’t think that I only focus on NC records, here is the news from TN, Tennessee
State Library and Archives Celebrates Black History Month (new & improved versions of 3 important black history collections) and an Afro American Newspaper project, Project
Gado Announces New Collection of Historical Images in Celebration of Black
History Month.
If you are aware of other new resources for African-American
research, please share.
