UNC libraries and their users consider Accessible Archives products to be important e-resources for supporting research in African American studies and on the history of the American South and, as a consequence, consistently have made their acquisition a priority.

What you have is one of the most important developments in early American research since microfilm.

This vast reservoir of affordable and wisely chosen on-line material makes possible a great leap forward in virtually any program in American history by speeding up the search process and by greatly expanding the range of easily accessible information.

When a student needed the exact date for Frederick Douglass’ speech ‘What the Black Man Wants,’ given at the 1865 annual meeting of the Mass.
