Stanford's Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute has launched a new database with initially more than 4,000 documents on or about Martin Luther King Jr., including those used in The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Online King Records Access database (OKRA) is a collaborative project with the Morehouse College King Papers (Atlanta University) and the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University, and is funded by the Mellon Foundation. Scholars can discover from the records where to find the original documents, and then they can request access from the corresponding institution. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Encyclopedia is also online and in the Lane Reading Room in Green Library.
