Scope and content
The series documents the Black Studies Centre’s efforts to make crucial information about Black history and culture available to the community by providing access to a vast collection of books and other textual material, slides, audio recordings and films. This documentation is represented not only through the original card catalog, lists and bibliographies, but also through a wide array of publications collected by the Center that are available as part of the fonds. In addition, the series contains documents pertaining to the organization of the Black Studies Centre library and the work of its employees.
The series contains both fiction and non-fiction writing related to the life, culture, and contributions of Black communities throughout Canada, the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean, from the end of the 18th century to today. The series also includes documents concerning significant events. Several folders in this series document the Sir George Williams Affair, also sometimes referred to as the Sir George Williams Computer Centre Incident, the Anderson Affair, and the Sir George Williams University Computer Riot.
