oai:setDescription Full collection includes roughly 1900 photos gathered for use in the American Negro Exhibit at the Paris Exposition, consisting of portraits and scenes of education, work, and daily life. As of early 2005, roughly 500 have been digitized, cataloged, and records made available for harvesting. Collection includes more than 360 photos presented by W.E.B. Du Bois. The Paris Exposition of 1900 (Exposition universelle internationale de 1900) devoted a building to matters of "social economy." The United States section of the building featured an exhibit that, according to W. E. B. Du Bois, attempted to show "(a) The history of the American Negro. (b) His present condition. (c) His education. (d) His literature."
