The Virginia Theological Seminary Archives http://www.vts.edu/archives houses the Bishop Payne Divinity School records and the African American Episcopal Historical Collection (AAEHC) http://www.vts.edu/aaehc. The AAEHC is a rich repository of primary sources related to African American Episcopalians. It is a strong complement to the broader Bishop Payne Library collection, and some of its holdings are cited in this bibliography. The individuals represented herein include ordained ministers, lay theologians, business people, and educators. Whatever their field, they all shared a strong commitment to, and were active in, the Episcopal Church. Particular emphasis has been placed on sources pertaining to graduates of The Bishop Payne Divinity School and The Virginia Theological Seminary. This bibliography is split into two main divisions. The first division is general resources related to African American history and to African American Episcopalians, in particular. It is divided into the following headings: reference sources, studies and documents, articles, and on- line resources. In the second division, specific African American Episcopalians are given their own sections. The organization of the individual bibliographies follows the pattern of the first division: reference sources, studies and documents, articles, and on-line resources. If the individual has papers in the AAEHC, it will be listed with each person first under the heading “primary sources.” For a complete listing of the holdings of the AAEHC, please visit http://www.vts.edu/aaehc. 3 GENERAL RESOURCES RELATED TO AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND AFRICAN AMERICAN EPISCOPALIANS Reference Sources Aaseng, Nathan.
