Reviews
At a time when the philosophical concept of 'the archive' has become so potent for scholars, the discourse can sometimes sidestep what Michelle Caswell has termed 'actually existing archives.' In this context, Scattered and Fugitive Things is a necessary restorative. The figures in this book, both notable and hidden, spent their entire lives working institutionally to build fortresses of Black history and possibility, materially reframing a historical record designed to ignore Black existence . . . Each figure is presented here in new depth, and in relation to each other and to a wider world of Black inquiry., Extensively researched and brilliantly constructed, Scattered and Fugitive Things weaves together the remarkable story of librarians, archivists, bibliophiles, and collectors of Black history. It describes the radical lengths that some went to collect, exhibit, and classify Black books, manuscripts, and ephemera. An essential book for anyone interested in the backstory of Black history., Scattered and Fugitive Things is a methodological, theoretical, and archival tour de force--at once the capstone of a decade of groundbreaking scholarship in Black archives and librarianship and a call for us to turn our attention to these pioneering Black bibliophiles and their institutions., This ingenious study of the quietly radical innovations of African American librarians and collectors transforms our understanding of the documentary impulse in Black history. Helton shows us that archives are not staid and passive repositories, but instead laboratories for experimentation, even insurrection, in the ways that the traces we preserve can intimate and anticipate shared futures., Scattered and Fugitive Things is an absolute marvel: for anyone who works in Black archives, anyone interested in Black liberation, Laura E. Helton records for us the strategies these Black librarians, collectors, and archivists employed in the first part of the twentieth century. Each page is a treasure to be savored., Laura Helton's Scattered and Fugitive Things is an extraordinary book that chronicles and contextualizes how Black archives and libraries were built, organized, preserved, protected and used in the early twentieth century. Beautifully written, this is a major contribution to Black Studies., Laura Helton's stellar and timely book reclaims the vital work of Black librarians, collectors, and bibliophiles who built the archival infrastructure on which scholars of Black history and culture rely. Those long-overlooked men and women are brought back to life with the fidelity that can only come from deep archival immersion by a superb writer. Her exceptional work and that of the brilliant people she profiles reveal a rich world of unexplored archival abundance which continues to serve as a bulwark against both unfounded speculations and outright assaults on Black history.

Synopsis
Scattered and Fugitive Things tells the stories of the Black collectors who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life, traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south., During the first half of the twentieth century, a group of collectors and creators dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life. At a time when dominant institutions cast doubt on the value or even the idea of Black history, these bibliophiles, scrapbookers, and librarians created an enduring set of African diasporic archives. In building these institutions and amassing abundant archival material, they also reshaped Black public culture, animating inquiry into the nature and meaning of Black history. Scattered and Fugitive Things tells the stories of these Black collectors, traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south. Laura E. Helton chronicles the work of six key figures: bibliophile Arturo Schomburg, scrapbook maker Alexander Gumby, librarians Virginia Lee and Vivian Harsh, curator Dorothy Porter, and historian L. D. Reddick. Drawing on overlooked sources such as book lists and card catalogs, she reveals the risks collectors took to create Black archives. This book also explores the social life of collecting, highlighting the communities that used these collections from the South Side of Chicago to Roanoke, Virginia. In each case, Helton argues, archiving was alive in the present, a site of intellectual experiment, creative abundance, and political possibility. Offering new ways to understand Black intellectual and literary history, Scattered and Fugitive Things reveals Black collecting as a radical critical tradition that reimagines past, present, and future.
