About us

Established in 1982, the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library is named in honor of the late Robert Winship Woodruff, a philanthropist and former CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. The Library serves three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs): Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this state-of-the-art facility has become a leading repository of information resources and an innovator in the delivery of digital content. In August 2024, Dr. Kimberley Bugg assumed the position of CEO and Library Director. The AUC Woodruff Library received the 2016 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award in the university category from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). In July 2022, the Library became the 127th member of the Association of Research Libraries, marking it as the second HBCU to achieve this distinction. The Library operates as a nonprofit corporation under the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation Code and is dedicated to educational and charitable purposes as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. It is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees. The AUC Woodruff Library also houses the Archives Research Center, renowned for its extensive collection of materials related to the African American experience. This includes the John Henrik Clarke Africana and African American Collection, the Henry P. Slaughter and Countee Cullen Memorial Collection, and the Southern Education Foundation Collection. Additionally, at the request of Morehouse College, the Library serves as the custodian of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection, as well as the Joseph Echols Lowery and Evelyn Gibson Lowery Collection.
