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.

MARCH e ~ 902 I write now to invite ant! urge you to attend our conference May ~7, Tuesday. Our subject for this Seventh Conference is The Negro Artisan, we are collecting data on the history of tracles among Negroes, the number & distribution of artisans in the United States; the increase & decrease in various communities, the influence of trade schools, the influence of colleges. We expect Hampton, Fisk & other schools to be represented & are particularly anxious to have you.t I think you will grant that I have sought in every way to minimise the breach between colleges & industrial schools & have in all possible ways tried to cooperate with Tuskegee in its work. I have not been so successful in getting you to cooperate with ours, altho' this is of course largely due to the fact that you are a busy man. This time, however, I hope you can serve us & will accept this invitation to speak to us on that occasion. Very Sincerely Yours, W. E. B. Du Bois ALS Con. ~ BTW Papers DLC. ~ BTW accepted the offer to go to Atlanta. Du Bois asked him to speak for about fifteen minutes. (Du Bois to BTW, Mar. ~5, egos, BTW Papers, ATT.)

It is an historical study of the Race Question from 1865 to Woo. Frederic Harrison recently said that this is the one great problem which shadows the future of America.
