The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture
The Mary Lily Research Grants

The Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture documents the
public and private lives of women through a wide variety of published and
unpublished sources. Collections of personal papers, family papers, and
organizational records complement print sources such as books and
periodicals. Particular strengths of the CWHC are feminism and radical
feminism in the U.S., women's prescriptive literature from the 19th and 20th
centuries, girls’ literature, artist’s books by women, and the history and
culture of women in the South. Also, a number of prominent women writers
have placed their personal and professional papers at Duke.

John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History

The major collections available at the Hartman Center are the extensive
Archives of the J. Walter Thompson Company (JWT) the oldest advertising
agency in the U.S. and a major international agency since the 1920s; the
advertisements and a moderate amount of agency documentation from both
D'Arcy, Masius, Benton & Bowles (DMB&B) and Wells Rich Greene; and the
Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) archives and related
collections documenting billboard history. The Center holds several other
smaller collections relating to 19th and 20th century advertising and
marketing, supported by a growing number of books, periodicals, films, and
videos.
In addition to travel grants up to $750 for the use of any of the Hartman
Center's collections, the Center will fund up to three J. Walter Thompson
Research Fellowships. Each Fellow will receive a stipend of $1000 during his
or her stay in Durham. Fellowships are available to researchers planning to
spend a minimum of two weeks at Duke doing research that focuses on the J.
Walter Thompson Company Archives.

John Hope Franklin Collection of African and African-American Documentation

The holdings of the Franklin Collection include letters, diaries, ledgers,
photographs, films, and rare books documenting some three centuries of
African-American experience. The Collection is especially strong in the
areas of nineteenth-century slavery and African-American life in the
post-World War II civil rights era. Noteworthy collections include: the
archives of the Behind the Veil oral history project, with more than 1,000
oral histories collected from black southerners who lived during the Jim
Crow era; a collection of oral history interviews with civil rights
activists conducted by historian Joe Sinsheimer; the Leroy T. Walker Africa
News Archive--the research, clipping, and publication files of Africa News
Service, one of the nation’s most respected sources of information from and
about Africa; and the papers of prominent African Americans, such as Fannie
B. Rosser and Asa and Elna Spaulding.
