Digital Schomburg Images of African Americans from the Nineteenth Century <http://digital.nypl.org/schomburg/images_aa19/>. Created and maintained by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library. Viewed March 25–27, 2002.

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the foremost collection of archival materials relating to African Americans, has produced a Web site that gives a glimpse of the many rich visual materials it holds. The majority of the exhibition focuses on the post–Civil War period, with some images dating to the 1920s. The exhibit currently contains nearly five hundred images depicting the variety of life for African Americans in the United States. 1860s newspaper engravings depict children in freedmen's schools from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans, Louisiana. Older students at Tuskegee, Hampton, Fisk, and the Lincoln School for Nurses appear in photographs from the 1880s to the early 1900s. Drawings and photographs of black men serving in the army during the Civil War and World War I display the opportunities and the hardships of enlistment. The numerous depictions of family, religious, and leisure activities include a group of young people surrounding a bicycle and studio portraits of children, wedding couples, and families. Two early 1900s postcards depict a baptism in the Ohio River near Louisville, Kentucky. The collection contains numerous drawings and photographs of black laborers, mostly on southern farms and plantations. The Schomburg plans in future to add images of "19th-century continental Africans and African peoples in Central and South America and the Caribbean." . . .
