Established in 2014, the Teamer fund (named after Dr. Charles Teamer Sr. - former executive director of the Amistad Research Center and Tulane alum) is used to
purchase resources relevant to the research of Amistad patrons. Resources are typically purchased in an electronic format; however, some physical resources are purchased and stored at Howard-Tilton Memorial Library or the Amistad Research Center. The pages linked to the left feature books purchased with the fund since its inception.
Resources purchased with this fund are organized in the following categories:
Black Life, Culture, and Politics - Resources include those about slavery, food, sociology and more!
