Comments on: Du Bois Papers: Microfilm and Print Editions http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/dubois Resources on the life and legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois Sat, 22 Jan 2011 11:28:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: rscox http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/dubois/?page_id=862&cpage=1#comment-2998 rscox Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:13:40 +0000 http://www.library.umass.edu/spcoll/dubois/?page_id=862#comment-2998 Our list of places that hold the microfilm is probably close to comprehensive, but I can't be quite certain. Every once in a while we hear of somewhere else that has purchased the set, and we add them to the online list when we do. Since you know the reels you might wish to borrow, you might see if your library can arrange an interlibrary loan for you. Failing that, we are in the throes of a large project to digitize all of the Du Bois Papers, but the first results won't go public until next June, and the project won't be complete for another two years after that. By next June, I expect that all of Du Bois' correspondence through about 1930 or 1935 will be available, though, which will be a good start. If we can help in the meantime, please let me know! --Rob Cox Our list of places that hold the microfilm is probably close to comprehensive, but I can’t be quite certain.
