 :Over the years African American sources have been cataloged in many different ways at the Family History Library. This Bibliography was created to make the African American genealogical sources easier to locate. For example:
-:*Burkett, Randall. ''[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23047573 Black Biographical Dictionaries 1790–1950: Cumulative Index]''. 3 vols. Alexandria, Va.: Chadwyck-Healey, 1991. (FHL book 973 F2bbd.) The 300 African American biographical dictionaries indexed in this work are available in the Family History Library, but they are not listed separately in the FHL Catalog by title. The bibliography corrects this problem by listing each title separately. You will also find numerous entries for articles from historical and genealogical periodicals you would not find by using the library catalog. ''
