Mapping Du Bois' Intellectual Interests

I'm still wrapping up my FINAL final paper, which is due tomorrow.  My brain has basically already started vacation, so I really just need to finish this thing.  One of the things I'm talking about in the paper is Du Bois' bibliography for his work Black Reconstruction in America, which is fascinating because it lists his sources in groups.  I've never seen a bibliography quite like this.

He lists 10 categories with several sources included in each category:

1. Propaganda
2. Historians (Fair to Indifferent on the Negro)
3. Historians (These historians have studied the history of Negroes and write sympathetically about them)
4. Monographs
5. Answers
6. Lives (These are lives of leaders who took part in Reconstruction and whose acts and thoughts influenced Negro development)
7. Negro Historians
8. Unpublished Theses
9. Government Reports
10. Other Reports

Each category is pretty fascinating, but I am most interested in the section "lives" since Du Bois wrote THREE autobiographies and uses people's lives as a more valid representation of history than scholar-produced histories (or so I argue).  It's got me thinking about my own bibliography for this paper since I'm so committed to proving that Du Bois' intellectual interests can be traced through this bibliography.  Well, I've got a bunch of historical stuff, a New York Times article from 1897, archival photos from the digital W.E.B. Du Bois Archive, and a couple of historians who theorize race and historiography.  I am getting more and more interested in the historical material related to the authors I'm working with, so I expect to continue to work with older newspapers and photographs and incorporate them into my work as much as possible.  

One day I would love to have an elaborate bibliography like Du Bois that categorizes the materials I'm using rather than just a boring list.  I think it is a valuable resource for showing people how you are thinking and says a lot about the value you place on certain resources.
