Virginia Black History Archives
Cabell Library's Special Collections and Archives houses over fifty manuscript collections that make up the Virginia Black History Archives -- a project begun in 1990 to help document African American history in the Central Virginia area. A detailed listing can be accessed where entries for each collection provide a brief description of the materials. Links to the finding aid (or guide) of many of the collections are also provided. Many of these finding aids are the result of Virginia Library of Virginia's (VIVA) Virginia Heritage Project.
