HIS 350R: Civil Rights from a Comparative Perspective

Digital Archives and Collections

Online Archival Collections

Many archival collections have been digitized and released online. We have hand-selected the collections below for this class. Some are free and accessible to anyone online, while others require a paid subscription which is covered by the UT Libraries.

These collections vary in terms of user-friendliness and accessibility. Please let Adriana, the U.S. Studies Librarian, know if you have questions or run into trouble!
