UTA Libraries has acquired five collections of digital primary resources focused on minority histories, race relations, and social justice from Adam Matthew Digital.

“This purchase was a great opportunity—both for the Libraries as well as our users,” said Rebecca Bichel, Dean for UTA Libraries. “We are always looking for new ways to elevate the narratives of diverse communities while investing in primary resources that strengthen our scholars’ work.”

Peter Zhang, UTA Librarian, recommended the acquisition.

“These incredible collections have a lot to offer our students and faculty,” Zhang said. “This acquisition was necessary to support the Libraries’ mission to provide access to high-quality, in-demand resources.”

The following collections were included in this purchase:

• African American Communities
• Gender: Identity & Social Change
• Race Relations in America
• American West
• American Indian Histories and Cultures
