Jonathan Coleman Papers, 1976-1997

Arrangement of the Materials

The collection is arranged into three series:

  1. Tapes and Transcripts, 1989-1993
  2. Research Materials, 1984-1996
  3. Book Publication and Publicity Materials, 1991-1997

Series 1 is arranged numerically. The contents list in this finding aid is sorted alphabetically by person, event, or subject. Some interviews are listed under more than one access point. For example, the tape of Rev. Jesse Jackson at St. Luke's Emmanuel Baptist Church is listed under "Jackson, Jesse, Rev. at St. Luke's Emmanuel Baptist Church" and "St. Luke's Emmanuel Baptist Church." The contents fields refer to the location of the transcript. An "NT" in the transcript field indicates that no transcript exists for the tape.

Tapes and transcripts are housed separately. Box and folder information in the contents list refers to the transcripts.

Series 2 and 3 are arranged alphabetically, then chronologically.
