This is the first full week of Black History Month. Rather than posting about campus events, I thought I’d look in the library catalog and see what resources are available for learning about African American history in Irvine and at UCI.
Thankfully, we’ve got a library catalog that makes finding these resources easy:
Oh…
Well, there are some interesting publications about Orange County rather than Irvine:
A different shade of orange – Cover
- A different shade of Orange : voices of Orange County, California, black pioneers / Robert A. Johnson, Charlene M. Riggins
F868.O6 J64 2009 (there are copies in Langson and Special Collections OC) - The Black Orange (published El Toro, 1982-1996; UCI has 1993-1996)
F 868 O6 B432 (Special Collections OCpam)
And there are some interesting material in Special Collections and Archives that are useful for the African-American experience on campus (resulting in the rather more fruitful search in ANTPAC than illustrated above):
- An African American resource guide to the University of California, Irvine
LC2802.C2 A37 2008 (Special Collections University Archives) -
Black Student Union records (University of California, Irvine)
AS.098 - University of California, Irvine, Department of African American Studies records 1989 – 2008
AS.193 - Perceptions and persistence : experiences of first-year African American and Chicano/Latino students at the University of California, Irvine / by Danny Wayne Throgmorton
LC3727 .T48 1999a - An African American resource guide to the University of California, Irvine
LC2802.C2 A37 2008 (Special Collections University Archives)
Is there more? Probably!
