Greenwood A Guide to the Archives of Hampton Institute: 5 (Bibliographies and Indexes in Afro-American and African Studies)

Review ?Malval's guide provides the reader with a comprehensive listing of Hampton Institute's own records. The first half of the book consists of 34 different record groups, including education, state and national organizations, faculty, and pictorial records. Entries within each of these record groups are numerous and arranged alphabetically. The second half of the work has an index to the record groups and a general index arranged alphabetically by subject. Although the Guide will be useful for historians of black and Native American cultures, its appeal will be greatest for the handful of scholars interested in the traditions of Hampton Institute itself.?-Choice "Malval's guide provides the reader with a comprehensive listing of Hampton Institute's own records.
