Title:
Claude A. Barnett collection of visual materials, [graphic]
Content:
The collection consists primarily of photographs issued by the Associated Negro Press, a news service founded in Chicago by Barnett in 1919. Included are publicity portraits of prominent blacks in business, politics, education, religion, sports, law, medicine, journalism, government, and entertainment.
Other photographs in the collection represent Barnett's business activities. Views of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Chicago's Provident Hospital, American Red Cross Relief programs and a series of albums, part of a project of the Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which document agricultural conditions in the black rural South in the 1930s and 1940s, all reflect Barnett's varied interests and associations.
