Photo of the paperback volume The House Archives Built & Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibilities by Dorothy Berry. It features an assemblage of older black and white photographs of African American families on the top half of the cover, and black text upon a sea green background on the lower half. My thumb briefly appears to hold the spine of the book.
