Launched as part of the University's celebration of Black History Month 2004, the archive uses high quality digital images of letters, journals, photographs, documents, newspapers and more to tell the often overlooked experiences of African-American slaves in California and provide students, teachers, and the general public with invaluable information for studying and learning about this part of California history.

The 147 items in this Collection were donated to California State University, Sacramento in 2006 and are housed in the University Library's Department of Special Collections and University Archives. The items in the Collection, because it was the personal collection of Sokiku Nakatani, demonstrate her level of expertise, interests, and aesthetics, and they also serve to promote understanding and interest in the study of Tea and in Japanese culture and design.
