Collection Data

Description
This collection of research materials about Harriet Tubman (1821-1913; nurse, spy, scout, and conductor on the Underground Railroad) was assembled by historian-journalist Earl Conrad as supporting documentation for a number of biographical works on this extraordinary daughter of Africa. It was deposited in the New York Public Library's Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature and History by Mr. Conrad after completion of his work. The Collection consists of correspondence between Conrad and potential sources of relevant information and documentation, research notes from published works, statements and texts of interviews with members of Harriet Tubman's family as well as with persons who knew or worked with her, and the various typescripts and drafts preceding Conrad's completed publications. A number of photographs are included but many others have been transferred to the Schomburg Collection's Photograph and Prints Division for greater accessibility. The collection was assembled while the research was being done, generally in 1939 and 1940, and therefore reflects the documents and resources available at that time.
