In recognition of Black History Month, Fold3 is making the records in its Black History collection available for free through the end of February.
All
the titles in our Black History collection contain valuable insight
into the history of African-Americans in the United States, but titles
that are especially rich in information include:
Some examples of interesting records you can find in the Black History collection include:
- An 1810 inventory for the estate of Joseph Morton, a “free black man”
- An 1827 inventory for the estate of Thomas Drayton that lists his 160 slaves by family group
- A Civil War—era photograph of black laborers
- The service record of Christian A. Fleetwood of the US Colored Infantry, who earned the Medal of Honor during the Civil War
- A photograph of 3 members of the original black fighter squadron in WWII

*Access to the records in the featured collections will be free until Feb 28, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. MT.
