As part of its ongoing commitment to improve research capabilities by increasing and preserving its collections, the Beinecke Library has created a state-of-the-art off-site shelving facility to house our growing manuscript and book collections.
Living Portraits: Carl Van Vechten's Color Photographs of African Americans, 1939-1964 features some 140 never-before-exhibited color photographs by Carl Van Vechten.
The Beinecke Library has acquired the papers of R. A. Adams, an evangelistic minister of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and writer, lecturer, and publisher of pamphlets on topics relating to race, religion, contraception, interpersonal relations, and socioeconomics.
