African-American Biographical Database (AABD) brings together biographies, rare books, and historical information on thousands of African-Americans. These biographical sketches (including photographs and illustrations) have been assembled from Chadwyck-Healey’s acclaimed Black Biographical Dictionaries 1790-1950. Biographical portraits from newly uncovered dictionaries as well as from other published reference sources, obituary files, slave narrative collections, internet sites, etc. will be added as the database expands.
