Many information centers are beginning to reveal and promote materials relating to African American history that are housed in their respective facilities. In hopes of enhancing access, dozens of institutions are digitizing such materials. This website reviews several existing websites and digitization projects and lists noteworthy digitization projects that are forthcoming.

The scope and content of these websites greatly varies. Most are produced by academic institutions, but there a many created by governmental institutions, historical societies, and commercial agencies. A few are exclusively devoted to African american related collections; a greater number focus on selected documents. Descriptions of websites are organized alphabetically by the title of the information institution or by the name of the collection.
