The Marian Anderson Archival Project is an ongoing effort and updates will be reflected in the Marian Anderson Resource Guide as any additions are made in the future. The materials in this guide are arranged by collection and reflects the arrangement of the collections’ original finding aids. Various collections within the NSDAR Archives contain valuable records about Marian Anderson’s association with the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. It is the DAR’s desire that this resource guide compliments and expands upon other historical research related to the 1939 concert. The purpose of this resource guide is to aid in the study of the events and attitudes surrounding Marian Anderson’s historic Lincoln Memorial concert. This online gallery features a sampling of these documents, including new ones that have been uncovered in recent months during the processing of a new NSDAR Archives’ acquisition, the Sarah Robert Papers (DAR President General from 1938-1941). In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Marian Anderson’s historic Lincoln Memorial concert, the DAR is launching a project to create a subject guide on documents related to Marian Anderson found within the NSDAR Archives.
