Hello all,
As you all know, I am very much into library history, archives, and library science programs in HBCUs. So, I became crazy excited when I discovered papers on the closing of Hampton Institute's Library Science program, which closed in 1940. In that same box was papers discussing the opening of the Atlanta University's Library Science School in 1941, which was organized to replace the program at Hampton. I have become more and more interested in the history of library science programs set up to bring more African Americans in the field because I strongly believe it is one of the top ways to recruit more into the field.
