Providing education and resources for those researching African-American roots, this unique site hosts regular opportunities for users to communicate with one another.

From the main page, you see a big white and yellow box with the word “Suche.” This means “search” and you can search for many archival items from this screen. In the top right corner, you will see a little link “EN,” which means “English.” You might be tempted to click that so you can see this website in English. But if you do that, this search box will disappear and the options available to you will, too. Stick with the German version and use tools, such as Google Translate, if you are not familiar with German.
