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.

To William Torrey Harris Tuskegee, Ala.] May Ah 189 My dear Sir: I have not yet sent you the proceedings of the Tuskegee Negro Conference for the reason that the more ~ think over it the more ~ seem to be convinced that it is not wise to publish the proceedings in full. ~ fear that if this is done it would tend to, restrict discussion in the future and embarrass persons who take part in the meeting. In order that the meetings be valuable they must be free in every sense. We have not yet gotten to the point in the South, I fear, where we can discuss the interests of the race along all the lines with perfect freedom. While I know that there is much in the report that would be of value, still I fear the cause of education would be more hindered than helped by publishing the proceedings. We have them carefully type-written and shall at any rate keep the matter for future reference. I shaI1 be glad to know your opinion on this point. Yours truly, Booker T.
