The collection contained works in many languages and formats, offering an unparalleled look into the richness and global reach of Black history. One hundred years later, Schomburg’s collection remains a central feature of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, now the world’s premier archive for study of the African diaspora, housing more than 11 million items, and a vibrant site of Black intellectual life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis volume not only contextualizes the life and work of Schomburg and chronicles the history of the institution that bears his name but also includes a list of books and pamphlets in Schomburg’s initial “seed collection,” the fruit of a multiyear research effort to reconstruct this early Black Studies archive.
