This paper is a critical bibliography which examines U.S. library history literature from 1997 through 2015 to map the current research around race, ethnicity, and racism in such literature. Seventeen years ago Wayne Wiegand (2000) examined fifty years of published research literature (1947–1997) in American library history looking for varied theoretical perspectives. He argued for the use of more critical theories, and for library historians to join with social and cultural historians to help contextualize library history within broader cultural and social forces in the United States. The paper examines the progress of histories around race, racism, and people of color in libraries since Wiegand's call, and discovered that theoretical perspectives around library histories have broadened into the areas of race and ethnicity, but that there is still much research to be done. Many topics and time periods are still underresearched. For example, the paper found few or no articles that focus on race or ethnicity in the histories of U.S. private libraries, the predecessor to the public library, special libraries, or library education; it also found many articles in ethnic studies journals rather than LIS journals.

1997–2015年美国图书馆史文献中的种族与种族主义测绘

本文是一本重要的书目,它对1997年至2015年间的美国图书馆历史文献进行了研究,以勾勒出当前有关种族,种族和种族主义的研究。十七年前,韦恩·韦根(Wayne Wiegand,2000)研究了美国图书馆历史上五十年出版的研究文献(1947–1997),以寻求各种理论观点。他主张使用更具批判性的理论,并要求图书馆历史学家与社会和文化历史学家共同努力,以帮助在美国更广泛的文化和社会力量中将图书馆历史背景化。该论文研究了自Wiegand呼吁以来围绕图书馆的种族,种族主义和有色人种的历史发展,并发现围绕图书馆历史的理论观点已扩展到种族和种族领域,但是仍然有很多研究要做。许多主题和时间段仍未得到充分研究。例如,该论文在美国私人图书馆,公共图书馆,特殊图书馆或图书馆教育的前身中,很少或根本没有文章关注种族或种族。它还在种族研究期刊而不是LIS期刊上找到了许多文章。
