It is a primary resource database geared toward academic research in the humanities, but other disciplines may also benefit from the rich content of the archive. Most specifically researchers in art, cultural studies, history, literature, mass media, music, business, and marketing would benefit from the photographs, cartoon/comic strips, advertisements, film reviews, and news reports. In addition, it provides essential images of key African American figures, businesses, and artists. The searching and search results interface lets the user explore by content type, Boolean/phrases, and SmartText searching among other filters. All content is available through PDF for great accessibility and convenience.", }
