Our modern manuscripts are quite different. They include diverse formats from Andrea Villasenor handwritten and typescript items of a more recent vintage to photographs, videos, audio PHOTOGRAPHER recordings, drawings, and maps.

  • A History of Fisk University Library: 150 Years of African American Public History and Culture, 1866 – 2016
    A HISTORY OF FISK UNIVERSITY LIBRARY: 150 YEARS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PUBLIC HISTORY AND CULTURE, 1866 – 2016 by BRANDON A. OWENS, SR. A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public History Middle Tennessee State University November 2020 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Louis M. Kyriakoudes Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle Dr. Frank Lambert ABSTRACT On January 9, 1866, a formal ceremony opened the doors of Fisk Free Colored School to educate whites and newly freed slaves in Nashville, Tennessee. This dissertation will argue that from the institution’s opening in 1866, Fisk University Library evolved from a passive role of providing materials for students, faculty, and the public to a leadership role in the effort to collect, preserve, and shape the study of African American history and culture. By the twenty-first century, the library was a premier African American historical organization with connections to every sub-field of public history: oral history, archival science, historic preservation, programming, museum curatorship, documentary films, and digital humanities. Overall, this research will explore the various ways an underrepresented and under-studied group of people used their power and agency to produce a new historical narrative that included the contributions of Africans and African Americans to global society. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to thank Jesus Christ who strengthened me through this entire dissertation process. Thank you, Lord, for instructing me and teaching me in the way I should go. God, thank you for using various individuals to send me words of comfort, encouragement, support, and wisdom when I needed them most.

A comparison of presidents from 1906 to 1925 with their counterparts from 1966 to 1985 shows a sharp contrast: the former individual was more likely to be white, male, married, and Protetant; somewhat more likely to be a Republican; and a graduate from a northeastern college or university but with,-,ut formal library education; and the director of a nonpublic library in the northeast.
