Series 6: Miscellaneous

This collection consists of the collected papers of Barbara J. Kukla, who has worked in Newark for over fifty years as an author and reporter. These materials were collected by Barbara, both through her work and for personal interest. Some of the significant topics represented in these files are: music, theater, poetry, fine arts, books, African-American heritage and history, African-American life, women’s issues, women’s history, public schools, charter schools, universities, colleges, religion (churches, pastors), politicians, elections, community groups, women’s groups, civil rights groups, and history. Most files focus on Newark, with some New Jersey and national information. The bulk of material covers the 1970s to the 2000s.

eries 1-6 contain paper materials, the majority of which are clippings, pamphlets, leaflets, event journals, and fliers. Series 7 contains photographs. Series 8, the oversized series, contains mostly paper copies of newspapers, as well as posters and paper materials.
