Abstract n the 1920s, Robert and Helen Lynd conducted a sociological study of Muncie that was published in 1929 as Middletown: A Study in American Culture. Unfortunately, the Lynds virtually overlooked the African American population in their work that examined Muncie as a "representative American Community." The Other Side of Middletown Collection, consisting of over 150 digital images, illustrates the history of the life and achievements of African Americans in Muncie and Delaware County through photographs donated by members of the community. The collection was the product of a collaborative project undertaken in 2003-04 involving Hurley Goodall, Eric Lassister, Elizabeth Campbell, Michelle Natasya Johnson, and a group Ball State students, working with the local African American community, which resulted in the publication of The Other Side of Middletown: Exploring Muncie's African American Community. These photographs are also on permanent display at Faulkner's Mortuary, 915 E. Williard Street, Muncie, Indiana.

Record Info Records originated with the DLF Newsletter, 2000-2005, from which they were converted into a FileMaker database. The FileMaker DB was imported into a database system currently maintained by the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Records for collections added after 2005 were created in this database as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. This database is currently being maintained as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. 2010-03-11 eng English Digital Library Federation (DLF) oai:dlfcollectionsregistry.grainger.uiuc.edu:71220
