Summer intern project highlights the Library of Congress holdings of The Negro Travelers’ Green Books.
Stephon Boykin, the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Library Alliance Summer Intern, worked on a variety of projects across Preservation Divisions this summer. Of particular note, is his project related to The Negro Travelers’ Green Books in the Library’s holdings. Stephon’s review of WorldCat established that two of the editions held by the Library of Congress (1946 and 1953) are the only known copies. These two unique editions have been put into the PRD (Preservation Reformatting Division) digitization queue and our catalog records have been updated to include a link to the Green Books that have previously been digitized by the Schomburg Center of the New York Public Library.
