Digital Omnium Gatherum Collection

Prepared by:

Timmia King

And Lopez D. Matthews, Jr., Ph.D

May 2018

Scope Note

This collection consists of a variety of materials dating from the mid-17th century to the

1970’s, all relating to peoples of the African Diaspora. This is a growing collection; items are

added to it frequently; therefore, the images depicted here represent a major part of the collection,

but not its entirety. The materials that comprise this collection are so varied and unusual that the

typical description “Individual Manuscripts” does not apply. The name we have given it is

Omnium gatherum, a Latin term meaning “a miscellaneous collection of persons or things.” There

are letters; documents related to slavery, manumission, rebellions, and the Civil War and

Reconstruction; broadsides, flyers, speeches, diaries, manuscripts, stamps, buttons, poetry and

songs, pamphlets, printed programs, logbooks, scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, minutes of

meetings, photographs, magazine and journal articles, reports, and maps. There are originals and

some photocopies. All items were either donated or purchased.

It became apparent that as the collection grew, a finding aid to the individual items was

needed that could be used by researchers to access items in the collection, and, at the same time,

be easily updated and maintained by staff. This digital finding aid covers only those items that

have been digitized. As more items are digitized the listing will be updated. As noted in the

acknowledgements, part 1 of the digitization of the “OG” collection was finished with support

from the Association of Research Libraries.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many people are responsible for the completion of this finding aid and digitization project. I would

especially like to thank the American Research Libraries for the providing me the opportunity and

the funds to complete this project. I would specifically like to thank Mira Swearer, the Program

Coordinator for Grants Administration, Amy Eshgh, the Assistant Director for Program

Coordination, and Mark Puente, the Director of Diversity and Leadership Programs, who all served

as my main points of contacts to ARL and the Fellowship for Digital and Inclusive Excellence

Advisory Group. This Groups oversaw the creation and the management of the Fellowship for

Digital and Inclusive Excellence.

I owe a special thanks to all of the faculty, staff and fellow student workers at Howard University’s

Founders Library with whom I came in contact while completing this project. Their

encouragement and companionship meant so much to me. I am especially grateful to Professor

Rhea Ballard-Thrower, the Executive Director of Howard University Libraries and the Moorland-

Spingarn Research Center, for her role as my mentor and her everlasting support. I will forever be

grateful to Dr. Lopez Matthews, Jr., the Manager of the Digital Production Center and the Digital

Production Librarian, who spent countless hours supervising me, teaching me about the process of

digitizing and preservation, double checking my work, and always encouraging me. Without all

of the above, the completion of this project would not have been possible. Thank you all.
