Research collections

The Center for Nonviolent Social Change, under the leadership of its founder, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, has undertaken a massive acquisition effort resulting in the creation of the King Library and Archives, the largest existing collection of civil rights materials.

To date, two volumes of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s papers have been published by University of California Press/Berkeley: Volume I: Called to Serve (January 1929-June 1951) and Volume II: Rediscovering Precious Values (July 1951-Nov. 1955). The series is edited by Clayborne Carlson.

The Reference Department at the Suzzallo/Allen Library, University of Washington, provides numerous nationwide listings of research and archival collections which relate to Dr. King, the Civil Rights Movement, and African American heritage. For more information, the library can be reached at (206) 543-9158.
