The PALMM Collection (Publication of Archival, Library & Museum Materials) is a cooperative initiative of the public universities of Florida to provide digital access to important source materials for research and scholarship. PALMM projects may involve a single university or may be collaborative efforts between a university and partners within or outside of the state university system. PALMM projects create high-quality virtual collections relevant to students and the research community. The articles below are merely a sample of what you will find in the collection. Please follow the links below to access articles on African American history, and please be sure to visit and search the PALMM collection to find articles that are relevant to your particular research interest. Please Note: The PALMM Collection website often shuts down after midnight for maintenance.
