Ethnic Communities

NOTE: This list is not a comprehensive one. We did not list individuals who may have belonged to an ethnic group but either did not identify with it or had little in their papers that reflected upon their community. These are the collections which deal directly with an ethnic community, including information recorded in a language other than English.
