Library of Congress American Memory Project

The Library of Congress American Memory Project has 16 digitized collections of African American History available at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html. Among the collections are pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection [1818-1907], African-American Pamphlet Collection [1824-1909], Papers of Frederick Douglass, sheet music [1850-1920], slave narratives, and the plays of Zora Neale Hurston.

The American Memory Project is a model of national cooperation and learning technology. It brings together many different institutions and private interests to create, preserve, and make available primary source materials presented in multimedia formats for education and lifelong learning.
