The Kaiser Index to Black Periodicals The Kaiser Index to Black Periodicals provides ready reference on Black history and culture. Ernest Kaiser, the principal indexer, and his colleagues developed the Index to supplement the limited number of existing Black reference books and assist in answering a broad range of questions on the international Black experience as well as that of the African-American. The Kaiser Index has been compiled from the handwritten notes of generations of librarians at the Schomburg Center and painstakingly computerized with the help of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Coverage is from 1948 to 1986. |
