Q. What books and databases could I find obscure, hard-to-find African-American scientists?

Here are a selection of titles that contain information about African-American Scientists:

African-American Scientists

African-American Firsts in Science and Technology

African-American Scientists Biographies

If you come in to a branch and ask at the Reference desk we can show you more titles. Some branches including the Main Library and Scotlandville have Black History collections which contain many more titles.

These databases will also be useful, you'll need your library card to access them unless you are inside the library:
