Digitizing The Crisis – updated

Both the Modernist Journals Project and Google are digitizing the NAACP’s journal The Crisis.

Google is digitizing Harvard’s bound volumes of Crisis, but Harvard does not have a full print run of the magazine. The MJP staff [says] that Harvard has Vols. 10, 11, 15-18, and 21, 22. Those are the ones Google has done.

MJP has begun to put online a run of [the NAACPs/] W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Crisis from 1910 through 1922.  The issues for the first six months, when circulation rose from 1,000 to 10,000, are now on the site.

We think that, when we get a larger run on line, that this will be a great resource for colleges and secondary schools.  Anything you can do to help inform people about it will be appreciated.
