HBCU Library Alliance

The HBCU Library Alliance is a consortium of libraries at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Founded in 2002 by deans and directors of libraries at HBCUs, the consortium comprises over 100 member organizations.[1][2] The alliance specifically represents the organizations included in the White House HBCU Initiative.[3][4] In 2019 the HBCU Library Alliance entered into a national partnership with the Council on Library and Information Resources.[5]
