Who would use this resource: This was specifically requested by Dr. Kwakiutl Dreher, UNL, for her research, but it would potentially be of value to UNO and UNK as well. Anyone interested in American history, culture, sociology, literature, and in the African American experience, especially in the South, will find this valuable.

Notes

04/20/2017 10:05 AM : This is a ProQuest Historical Newspaper and as such, is cross-searchable with the rest of the ProQuest Historical Newspapers, some of which UNL already owns. This increases the value to the user, as he or she can not only find what the ADW printed, but other views from the New York Times, etc.
