These records contain extensive and diverse historical narratives about African Americans and their communities, and especially those who are African American Catholics and their Catholic parishes and events. Also detailed are the Catholic missionaries and their evangelization through parishes, schools, and special events. These accounts are especially valuable whenever related historical records have not survived elsewhere.
Archivists have made extensive efforts to properly identify, arrange, and copy the documents. However, researchers should be aware that, in at least a few instances, legibility and misinterpretation of handwriting has compromised the order of documents, e.g. abbreviations for both "January" and "June" may appear as "Jun." Also, some marginally legible original documents are unreadable in the microfilm version. Patrons coping with such issues are invited to ask the archivist.
Reformatted records: Records that have been microfilmed are so noted, most of which are available throughout the United States via interlibrary loan. These and other records are or can be made available in digital formats via email. Reformatting fees may apply. Ask an Archivist for details.

Black and Indian Mission Collection (Commission for the Catholic Missions among the Colored People and the Indians) and the Catholic Negro-American Mission Board (The Catholic Board for Mission Work among the Colored People), Joint Series 9, Photography:Contains two format-based sub-series pertaining to African American Catholics -- Black and white prints and color prints. Both series are contained in folders arranged alphabetically by U.S. states and the District of Columbia, followed by foreign countries and there under by communities and Catholic institutions. Many of the prints were sent on request by pastors and school principals. Some prints were submitted to illustrate publications (series 7) or accountability reports (series 5-5). With few exceptions, the Collection created or collected all photography before 1980, whereas CNAMB created or collected all photography thereafter. Portraits of Collection and/or CNAMB office personnel, e.g. Reverend Tennelly, Monsignor Lenz, Reverend Paysse, plus office visitors, are filed in BCIM series 9-1 (black & white prints) and 9-3 (color prints) under "District of Columbia, Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions". Similarly, those of Saint Katharine Drexel are filed in BCIM series 9-1 (black & white prints) and 9-3 (color prints) under "Pennsylvania, Bensalem, Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament". Select images are included online in the collection, African American Catholics, which is linked here: Marquette e-archives, A-Z.
Other series within the records of the Commission for the Catholic Missions among the Colored People and the Indians and other 蜜桃影像 collections also contain documentation relating to this series.
For each folder, the dates noted are limited to the first and last known years when images were created with intervening years, if any, not included. These are followed by 鈥渦ndated鈥� to indicate images for which the year of their creation is not known. However, if approximate dates are known, they are given in parentheses as follows:
路 鈥渦ndated (Received Commission for Catholic Missions among the Colored People and the Indians)鈥� = No creation years known; the years given identify when the Commission received the images, which typically was less than five years after they were taken.
路 鈥渦ndated (Used Our Negro and Indian Missions)鈥� or 鈥渦ndated (Used Other Title)鈥� = No creation years known; the years given identify when Our Negro and Indian Missions or Other Title first published the images, which typically was less than 10 years after they were taken.
路 "undated (ca. year-year)" = No creation years known; the years given identify the approximate years derived from clues within the images and related text.
The institutions listed are mostly local churches and schools and were the sources for the Commission鈥檚 photography. Most photographs within these folders document local events of the institutions and nearby communities. However, many nearby communities also have separate institutions and corresponding folders as do those distant places that have been identified. Events located far from the institutions that sent the photographs, including those taken out-of-state and outside of the United States, are arranged by the place where the photographs were taken rather than by the institution that provided the prints.
