About the Minority Health Archive

The Minority Health Archive, created in collaboration with the Center for Minority Health and the University Library System at the University of Pittsburgh, is an online archive of print and electronic media related to the health of the four nationally recognized minority groups: Blacks/African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders (See the NIH policy on reporting race and ethnicity data for subjects in clinical research, NOTICE NOT-OD-01-053). The Minority Health Archive provides the opportunity not only to research and gather documents in a variety of subject areas, but also serves as a resource to deposit other related materials not already posted to the archive.

There is no cost associated with accessing and utilizing this archive; however, registration is required in order to post media to the archive. (Note that only media relevant to the purpose and theme of the archive will be approved. If a submission is not approved, it will be returned with comment from the editorial staff.) To register, from the home page, http://minority-health.pitt.edu, click on the Register link in the top menu bar. Follow the instructions to fill out the online registration form. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with a link to follow in order to finalize the registration process.

Contents of the Minority Health Archive

The Minority Health Archive has a goal to be the primary repository and archive for all materials related to minority health. Therefore, materials submitted to the Minority Health Archive must deal with or relate to the health of the minority racial/ethnic groups in the United States (Black/African American, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Latino/Hispanic, and Asian American/Pacific Islander). The materials submitted can be about the general health, current research involving, or health disparities among any of these particular groups as well as materials related to the major contributors and contributions to the field of minority health.

Materials can include journal articles, web-based materials, government documents, books, book chapters, conference proceedings, conference papers, course outlines, events/presentations, images, pre-prints, theses/dissertations, and other materials relevant to our goal.
