Sankofa Special Collection: Digital Collections

The best way to access the Sankofa Special Collection is via our digitized Sankofa materials.  Digitizing the collections within Sankofa was the very first digital project undertaken by Meadville Lombard and most of the Sankofa Special Collection is now digitized. The Sankofa digital collections are completely and freely accessible to anyone in the world.  This page provides an overview of our Sankofa digital collections and various tools available to access them. 

Sankofa Digital Collection List

Papers are archival collections created by an individual or family. While most of these papers of those of ministers, we also have papers of lay leaders, activists, and other individuals whose lives and experiences are important to Unitarian Universalism. 

Collections are archival collections that do not have a clear creator, such as an individual or organization, but are organized around a specific theme or historical event.
