All of the books in our collection have been donated, and they reflect the interests of our members who made the donations. Black history predominates, but the collection is varied. Examples include the Letters of William Lloyd Garrison (Garrison was a noted 19th century abolitionist.), Blacks in Appalachia, History of the Hocking Valley, Native Tribes of North America, the Encyclopedia of Jazz and Blues. One of our members donated several books on the Harlem Renaissance. The collection also includes novels and books for children.
At this time, all books and papers in the MGC collection are available only by visiting the Multicultural Genealogical Center in Chesterhill.
