About the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
The Schomburg Center belongs to the New York Public Library as a research library and holds archives about people of African descent around the world. It is on Malcolm X Boulevard (Lenox Avenue) in Harlem, between West 135th and West 136th Streets. It is named for the scholar Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, who was Afro-Puerto Rican, and it has been closely woven into the Harlem community from nearly the start.
The center's resources are split among five divisions, including art and artifacts, manuscripts and rare books, moving images and recorded sound, and photographs and prints. Visitors can attend readings, talks, art shows and theater events, and the center welcomes the general public. A theater named for Roger Furman is located within the building.
The story began with a branch library at 103 West 135th Street, designed by Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead & White as a three-story building in the Italian Renaissance Palazzo mode. It opened on July 14, 1905. In 1926 Schomburg's collection, about 5,000 objects, was donated. A newly founded center at 515 Lenox Avenue dates from 1980. In 2016 the original building and the current one, linked by a connector, both received National Historic Landmark designation.
