Black Abolitionist Papers
1830 - 1865
Long neglected in studies of the anti-slavery movement that precipitated the Civil War, the important writings,
speeches and correspondence of black abolitionists are drawn together in a comprehensive collection for researchers.
Now libraries can supplement their African-American studies holdings with primary sources necessary for a
complete study of this major historical topic. The collection encompasses approximately 15,000 articles and
documents of nearly 300 black abolitionists in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, France and
Germany and includes:
The correspondence of key African-American leaders
Speeches, sermons and lectures
Articles, essays, editorials and other major writings from more than 200 African-American
abolitionist and reform newspapers
Receipts, poems and other miscellaneous documents
The Black Abolitionist Papers project was conceived, compiled and edited by George E. Carter, University of
Wisconsin-LaCrosse and C. Peter Ripley, Florida State University, who recognized that these reformers were a
persuasive force in the 19 th century anti-slavery movement who had been virtually ignored. Among research topics
to be explored in this collection are:
Northern/Southern separatism within the church
Black colonization and emigration
Black political action
Church support of black educational institutions
Black intellectual and social life
This collection constitutes the largest single collection of materials touching antebellum African Americans. A black
studies program would not be complete without access to these documents outlining the integral role played by
African Americans in the anti-slavery crusade.
