This is a guide to selected materials in the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum collection that have been created by artists who are African American, Latin/x American, Asian American, and Indigenous Peoples of the Americas.

Each guide is presented in two different organizational structures containing the same content, in order to facilitate varying researcher needs. The first section of each guide is organized by material type (biographical files, original art, archival collections, bound volumes, comic books, online resources, and more), and the second is organized alphabetically by creator.

This resource is a work in progress and is not intended to be a complete list of all cartoonists who identify as African American, Latin/x American, Asian American, or Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. 

We welcome suggestions of cartoonists whose work is held in our collection that can be added to this list. We also welcome suggestions of cartoonists whose work we should seek to add to our collection. Finally, if you see any errors, please let us know! Email us at cartoons@osu.edu.

Information in the Guide to Multicultural Resources was originally compiled by Joe Miller in 2012. Materials added to the collection after this date may not be reflected here.
