Preserving The Legacy of the Black Experience
The Moorland-Spingarn Research Center
Since early in its formative years, Howard University has collected materials related to
people of African descent. Established in 1973 as a separate administrative unit, the
Moorland- Spingarn Research Center continues to maintain that tradition of service.
Moorland is recognized as one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive repositories
for the documentation of the history and culture of Black people in the diaspora. As one of
the University’s major research facilities, the center collects, preserves, organizes, and
makes available for research a wide range of resources chronicling the Black experience.
The Center is named for Dr. Jesse E. Moorland and Arthur B. Spingarn, two benefactors
whose collections provided the foundation for later development. Following the re-organizing
of the collections as the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center in 1973, separate Library and
Manuscript Divisions were established, followed by the creation of the Howard University
Museum in 1979 and the Howard University Archives in 1980.
While the Library Division expands the Center’s extensive collection of books, newspapers,
journals, and printed materials, the other units are an integral part of the Center’s program
to redefine approaches to documentation and research into the complexities of Black history
and culture. MSRC’s combined resources emphasize the identification, acquisition,
preservation, research, and exhibition of both primary and secondary material which
transforms the existing special collections into one of the world’s premier research facilities.
