Arturo Schomburg e sua contribuição para a biblioteconomia negra: das coleções negras ao Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Palabra clave [online]. 2023, vol.12, n.2, e186.

This article presents the biobibliography and the role of the black bibliophile, archivist and librarian, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, in the organization and collection of informational resources representing black, African and African diaspora experience and thought. It reflects on black memorabilia and the importance of black collections for preserving the memory, history and culture of marginalized peoples in racialized western societies. Highlights Schomburg's political action in the creation and curation of black collections, in particular, his private collection, which was crucial for the beginning of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which even makes accessible the contribution of the black and Afro-diasporic population to the future generations. We hoped that the present research will instigate more historical studies of black librarianship, especially in the fight against the hegemonic discourse that makes the contribution of black actors in different social, professional and epistemic spheres invisible and absent.

Keywords : Black Librarianship; Biobibliography; Black Memorabilia; Black collections; United States.
