The Charles L. Blockson Collection of African-Americana and the African Diaspora contains materials relating to African American, African, Latin American, and Caribbean history and culture. The Collection focuses not only on African-Americana, but more broadly documents the African Diaspora, the pattern of human migration that reaches back hundreds of years and traces the movement of Blacks from their African homelands to areas around the world. Cataloging of the Blockson Collection, which was acquired by the University Libraries in 2006, began in the fall of 2007 and is ongoing, with nearly 6,000 books cataloged to date.
The Charles L. Blockson Collection Room is located on the 3rd floor of West Pattee Library and is open Mondays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and by appointment. Inquiries and requests for materials may be directed to the Special Collections Library. For reference and/or instructional support, contact Sylvia Nyana, Social Sciences Librarian, at (814) 865-8864 or san17@psu.edu
For everything else you can just contact Nnenna Amu, graduate assistant. Contact me!
