Earn CE credit for this POWER Academy Tutorial!
This tutorial is for all libraries serving researchers interested in the African American experience. School librarians supporting students doing history projects requiring primary source materials may also find this resource useful.  
This database features select primary source documents related to critical people and events in African American history. By centering on the experiences and perspectives of African Americans, it is hoped that this collection imbues the study of Black history with a deeper understanding of the humanity of people who have pursued the quest for freedom.

Manuscripts of Lectures on Mineralogy by William Wagner
This collection of handwritten lectures on Mineralogy made available by the Wagner Free Institute of Science, consists of two Introductory lectures and 24 topical lectures. The lecture series was written and delivered by William Wagner, founder of the Wagner Free Institute of Science, between 1853 and 1884. Wagner delivered this lecture series for the first time in 1853, prior to the founding of the Institute in 1855. The lectures contain many notes and alterations throughout the text; evidence of his continued revisions over the years.
