Compiled under the auspices of the W.E.B. DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research at Harvard University, this massive research collection provides ready access to biographical information on more than 30,000 African Americans. It includes a set of 1068 microfiches that reproduce the complete contents of 297 African American collective biographies published between 1927 and 1950. The contents are fully indexed in a three volume set.

While the bibliographical record for the whole set is available in IUCAT, the 297 individual titles (referred to as List of Sources below) are not. They are presented here for browsing and searching.
