Reinforcement of a Black Cultural Museum Through the Development of Its Library Resources in the Field of Black Studies to Provide Educational and Research Material With a Wide Application. Interim Report.

Chase, Judith Wragg

A project was undertaken to analyze, identify, and catalog materials in the collection of the Old Slave Mart Museum of Black Heritage of Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. The collection, begun in 1937, emphasizes the contributions to American culture made by Afro-American slaves. An initial inventory of 25,000 items has been cataloged. Though funds were not available to open the library to the public, plans were made to make materials available to schools, instructional programs, and special bicentennial programs. (EMH)
