English abstract

This article presents the biobibliography and the role of the black bibliophile, archivist and librarian, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg,in the organization and collection of informational resources representing black, African and African diaspora experience andthought. It reflects on black memorabilia and the importance of black collections for preserving the memory, history and cultureof marginalized peoples in racialized western societies. Highlights Schomburg's political action in the creation and curation ofblack collections, in particular, his private collection, which was crucial for the beginning of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which even makes accessible the contribution of the black and Afro-diasporic population to the future generations. We hoped that the present research will instigate more historical studies of black librarianship, especially in the fight against thehegemonic discourse that makes the contribution of black actors in different social, professional and epistemic spheres invisibleand absent.

Este artículo presenta la biobibliografía y el trabajo del bibliófilo, archivista y bibliotecario negro Arturo Alfonso Schomburg en la organización y recopilación de recursos informativos que representan la experiencia y el pensamiento negro, africano y de la diáspora africana. Reflexiona sobre la memorabilia negra y la importancia de las colecciones negras para la preservación de la memoria, la historia y la cultura de los pueblos marginados en las sociedades occidentales racializadas. Luego, destaca la acción política de Schomburg en la creación y curaduría de colecciones negras, en particular, su colección privada que fue crucial para el inicio del Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, que incluso hace accesible la información sobre el aporte de la población negra y afrodiaspórica a las futuras generaciones. Se espera que la presente investigación suscite más estudios históricos de la biblioteconomía negra, especialmente en la lucha contra el discurso hegemónico que invisibiliza y hace ausente la contribución de los actores negros en diversas esferas sociales, profesionales y epistémicas.
