Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture  

Definition

  • The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is arguably the premier collection of Africana data in the world. This gem of the New York Public Library is the fruit of the lifelong toil of Arthur (formerly Arturo) Alfonso Schomburg (1874–1938), an Afro-Puerto Rican bibliophile, patron of the arts, law clerk, lecturer, writer, curator, exhibitor, translator, educator, activist, revolutionary, and pioneer in microfilm preservation.
