The page presentation framework of the Booker T. Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

P R E F A C E THIS AUTOB10GRAPH~CA~ volume is the only one of those in the Booker T. Washington Papers published outside of regular chronological order. The general introduction to the series is placed in Volume a, the first of the chronological series of letters and other documents. The Introduction which follows, therefore, is only to the present volume. This volume is not an annotated edition, though occasionally notes for reading clarity, identification, and correction of factual errors have been added. The systematic annotation of the Booker T. Washington Papers begins with Volume c. Abbreviations and symbols used in footnotes are as follows: ATT Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. BTW Booker T. Washington Con. Container DLC Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. DNA National Archives, Washington, D.C. MH Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. RG Record Group The selection, editing, and editorial introduction of the autobiographical writings of Booker T. Washington has been a cooperative effort of the two editors. The selections were chosen largely by Louis R. Harlan. Both editors wrote several drafts of the Introduction, which received critical reading from Pete Daniel, Stuart B. Kaufman, and Raymond W. Smock of the project's editorial staff and by several members of the board of editorial advisers. The editors take full responsibility, however, for any errors or omissions. · — V11
