Biographies
Unfortunately, there are relatively few sources of material on African-American history in West Virginia. This includes histories, old letters, posters, diaries, and original photographs. The West Virginia State Archives is interested in preserving these materials for future generations. If you have relevant items and would permit us to copy them, please contact Joe Geiger or call 304/558-0230, ext. 165.
