Diversity in Children's Literature

Collected by: University of Michigan Library

Archived since: Mar, 2017

Description:

Both the Hatcher Graduate Library and the Special Collections Library have significant children’s literature collections. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of diversity in children’s literature among authors, publishers, librarians, and readers. Therefore, a web archive focused on Diversity in Children’s Literature will complement current collection strengths across the Library and will serve future researchers by documenting an important movement in the field of children’s literature. The centrality of social media to the movement, and as a site for ongoing conversations, makes web-archiving a particularly appropriate mechanism for documenting the diversity in children’s literature “discussion.” We hope that, as much as possible, the scope of the archive focuses on the authentic voices of content creators. Formats collected will include social media accounts, blogs, organizational websites, selected publishers’ websites, selected awards websites and other digital content.

Title: Publishing Statistics on Children's Books about People of Color and First/Native Nations and by People of Color and First/Native Nations Authors and Illustrators

URL: http://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/books/pcstats.asp

Description: "As a statewide book examination center serving Wisconsin, the CCBC receives the majority of new U.S. trade books published for children and teens each year. In the early years of gathering these statistics, we used the CCBC's collections and worked in conjunction with the Coretta Scott King Award Task Force of the American Library Association, to document the number of books by and about African Americans published annually. Starting in 1994 we began also keeping track of the numbers of books by Asian/Pacific and Asian/Pacific American, First/Native Nation and Latinx book creators as well. We also began documenting not only the number of books created by people of color and First/Native Nations authors and illstrators, but the number of books about people of color and First/Native Nations, including the many titles that have been created by white authors and/or illustrators."
