The Digitization of African American Publications

Abstract

The digitization of African American publications is significantly increasing access to the voice of a community that educators and information specialists have been recapturing through the development of subject-based collections housed in cultural repositories (museums, libraries, and archives) throughout the country. The task is proving immensely challenging and time consuming, while at the same time rewarding because of the impressive results of the work being done. The biggest challenge in digitizing African American collections is the pursuit of permission and acknowledgement of copyright restraints.
