Librarians and archivists, particularly those whose work focuses on resources pertaining to the Black diaspora, play a vital role in the field of Black digital humanities. Yet, all too often they are left out of conversations surrounding the Black digital humanities. This is a missed opportunity. Reflecting on my own work as a library professional, I argue that bridging the gap between the Black digital humanities and the social sciences, particularly library science, can prove to be incredibly fruitful in all phases of a digital humanity project.
