The book holdings in the Archives Research Center include first edition titles, limited printings, autographed, unique and rare publications. The primary focus of the collection is the African American experience. In addition, there are significant holdings on African and Caribbean history, politics, literature, religion, education and art. Included are rare, first edition and out of print books. The foundation of book holdings is from the Atlanta University Trevor Arnett Library Negro Collection that was established in 1925. Books from the personal libraries of John Henrik Clarke, Henry P. Slaughter, Clarence Bacote and C. Eric Lincoln among others enrich our collection.
