How to Find Books about African American History

The library contains many monographs and surveys about African American history. To find them, search the library catalog using the suggested subject headings in the next section.

Another way to find circulating books about African American history is to check The American Historical Association's Guide to Historical Literature (REF 016.9 Am34 1995). This book lists the best works of history in every field, with brief annotations of each book. Check the subsections on race or ethnicity under  "Colonial North America" (1239-1279), "United States, General" (1280-1324), "American Revolution and Early Republic,1754-1815" (1324-1360), "United States, 1815­-1877" (1361-1411), "United States, 1877-1920" (1412-1452), and "United States History since 1920" (1453-1503).

If any of the books you need is not owned by the library, then use the links in the boxes below to request it through PASCAL Delivers or Inter-Library Loan. You can also search for books using the Google Books and Google Scholar links to the left.
