WGST 064: Plantation Lullabies: Literature by and about African American Women: Primary & Reference Resources

Finding Primary Resources

Using the collections

UNC and Duke's archival collections are both available for you to use free of charge. At each library, you'll need to register to use the materials including showing at photo ID. For collections at Duke University, you'll need to request materials 48 hours in advance of your visit, since most of the materials are stored offsite.
