What resources are in GALILEO that might shed light on the election process from the African-American perspective?
The Auburn Avenue Research Library Finding Aids
database consists of guides to archival and manuscript collections held by the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African-American Culture and History, a special library of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System. The library's primary source materials document the experiences of African-Americans in Atlanta, the Southeastern region, and throughout the nation.
Using the advanced search boxes, with the terms elections and voting brought up two items.
One is the Julian Bond collection:
The collection covers the period from 1969 to 1996 and contains correspondence, organizational and institutional material related to the Voter Education Project, Political Associates, and The Southern Elections Fund, stationery, clippings, newsletters, political ephemera, articles and a book written by Julian Bond as well as items relating to the African American political life and Constance Curry's history of race relations and integration in Sunflower County (Miss.), Silver rights.
This is part of the deep web- finding out where this collection is housed is near about impossible on Google. I used "inventory of the Julian Bond papers" (which is the exact title)- zip, nada. I used Julian Bond collection Georgia - lots came up but not this specific resource.
Knowing where to search for information is sometimes harder than actually finding the facts!
Your Georgia Librarian can give you the current password to use GALILEO at home.
