Overview
The Afro-American Newspapers Archives and Research Center (AANARC) is the repository of the paper, electronic, and material history of the Afro-American Newspapers Company. The Afro, as it is commonly known, was founded in 1892 and is the longest running, family owned African American newspaper in the United States. Since its inception, the Afro has portrayed the lives of African Americans in its present day primary distribution region in the Baltimore, Washington, DC area, as well as the national and international arena.
