K(no)w Black Archives, K(no)w Black Studies. : Regional Sources

This guide is intended as a supplement to the physical displays of the same title that are on exhibit in the library during the Fall 2024/ Spring 2025 academic year.

What are Regional Archives?

A regional archive collects, preserves, and makes available for public use historical and evidential materials relating to a particular geographical area -- broader than a local archive but less encompassing than a national archive.
