Scope and Content Note

The Carter G. Woodson Collection of Negro Papers and Related Documents was
assembled by Woodson as an outgrowth of his interest in collecting and
preserving primary sources on African-American history during his tenure as
executive director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and
History and as editor of the Association's principal organ, the Journal of
Negro History. The collection includes papers of Whitefield McKinlay,
Washington, D.C., realtor and collector of the Port of Washington; Benjamin
Tucker Tanner, Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church; and John
T. Clark, officer of the Pittsburgh Urban League; as well as some early
papers of Carter G. Woodson. The collection is dated 1803-1936, but the
bulk of the material falls in the period 1830-1927. The papers consist
principally of correspondence on African-American history, the Journal of
Negro History, appointment of blacks to federal office, race relations,
racial discrimination, employment opportunities, state and national
politics, and business matters. Addresses, diaries, clippings, and
nineteenth-century legal documents complete the collection.

In the Whitefield McKinlay and Carter G. Woodson papers, correspondents who
generated a large number of letters are represented by separate folders.
Persons represented by correspondence or other papers include John E.
Bruce, George Washington Carver, William D. Crum, Frederick Douglass,
Christian A. Fleetwood, T. Thomas Fortune, Richard Theodore Greener, Henry
Cabot Lodge, John R. Lynch, Medill McCormick, Hiram Rhoades Revels,
Theodore Roosevelt, Julius Rosenwald, Emmett J. Scott, Robert Smalls,
Frederick Starr, Melville E. Stone, Booker T. Washington, and Charles
Young.
