• Such Sweet Thunder: Views on Black American Music This superlative publication chronicles the ten year history of the University's Black Musicians Festival, which brought jazz luminaries to the University from 1989-1999. The list of performers provides a veritable chronicle of jazz history.
  
  
• Architectural Tour of Campus This selective tour of campus architecture provides a fascinating glimpse into the architectural development of the University of Massachusetts. The guide is arranged in a series of two walking tours and one driving tour, affording visitors and residents alike the opportunity to explore the campus in its entirety or in smaller segments. Few know that the campus was shaped by some of the most influential architects of their time, including Edward Durrell Stone and Marcel Breuer. Many faculty have used this resource in their history, art history, design and architecture courses. Printed versions may be viewed in the Archives Library of the W.E.B. DuBois Library. This publication is currently out of print, and an electronic version is forthcoming.
