The HistoryMakers Digital Archive

The HistoryMakers Digital Archive represents the only massive attempt to record the Black experience since the Works Progress Administration's Slave Narratives of the 1930s. Featuring interviews with prominent African Americans, The HistoryMakers is a rich archive of history, knowledge, and the human experience. The platform contains a simple interface and several filtering options for exploring its vast content. Enhancements such as a full-screen option, embedding, and linking would make the Archive's platform more user-friendly. Competitively priced and unique in nature and scope, The HistoryMakers is a recommended purchase for libraries looking to expand their primary source offerings in African American studies.
