UT Libraries holds thousands of unique documents and artifacts relating to America’s participation in World Wars I and II.

Beginning with a gift from the legendary director Clarence Brown in 1973, the UT Libraries began assembling a collection of screenplays, scripts, movie posters and other items documenting East Tennesseans who have made their careers in film.
This collection consists of sixty-three photographs of African Americans living in Knoxville taken between approximately 1900 and 1910.
