This collection contains various papers, correspondence, and other records accumulated by Mr. Raphael Dubard during his many years of involvement with the New York State and Buffalo Branches of the N.A.A.C.P.

In 1978, Mr. DuBard turned the papers over to Dr. Monroe Fordham, Buffalo State College, History Department to be microfilmed as part of the Afro-American Historical Association’s microfilmed collection.

The papers were organized for microfilming by Dennis Dean, C.E.T.A. Research Assistant.  They were indexed and microfilmed by John Pierce, C.E.T.A. Research Assistant.  The index was typed by Jennifer Jones, C.E.T.A. Clerk Typist. The index was revised and updated by Hope Dunbar in 2017.
