James de T. Abajian Collection of Black (African-American) Ephemera
Comprises James de Tarr Abajian's collection of printed ephemera, much of it related to the San Francisco Bay Area African-American community, as well as photocopies, notes, and original documents pertaining to Abajian's research interests. Organizations represented include the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society, the Black Panther Party, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples, the First Unitarian Church (San Francisco), and the Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Company. Abajian's research files include additional ephemera and research materials, as organized by him into envelopes. In addition to ephemera, the collection also contains a small amount of Abajian's research notes and primary sources, including his investigations into the history of African-American printers, and several first-hand accounts of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. A very small amount of correspondence is also present.
