Collection Strengths for Jean Blackwell Hutson General Research and Reference Division
Collection Strengths
African, Caribbean and African American literature holdings are particularly strong, as are works on the history of the Americas and the New York metropolitan area. Texts on Harlem and Blacks in the performing and visual arts are also substantial. Additionally, the division maintains a strong retrospective and current collection of African American, Caribbean and African newspapers and other serials.
