About the Special Collections
The ANB Online presents special collections keyed to Black
History Month and Women's History Month, each containing about 500
articles; American Indian Heritage Month (about 300 articles); Hispanic
Heritage Month (145 articles); and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
(65 articles). The collections do not include every article related to
black history, women's history, American Indian history, Asian Americans,
or Hispanic Americans in the ANB. Rather, the articles were
selected to help you as a researcher, student, teacher, or librarian to
quickly access a sizable number of biographies for study on these topics.
For Black History Month, we have selected articles covering a range of time
periods and occupations that are representative of African-American
history. For Women's History Month, we have focused on the occupations
relating to women's suffrage and the women's rights movement. However, we
have included archetypes such as Marilyn Monroe and iconic figures such as
Sacagawea.
If ANB Online users find this special collection feature
useful, we will extend it to other topics. Please take a moment to drop us
an email and let us know if you like the feature. Send your comments to
