In 2002, the CCBC began separating the “by” and “about” numbers in its annual documentation of books by and about Blacks, Indigenous and People of Color.
The CCBC Diversity Statistics FAQs provide essential information and context and can help users avoid time-consuming mistakes when performing independent numerical analysis of our data.
The CCBC Media Kit includes a press release and visual images about our 2022 statistics. The media kit press release and images can be used without permission. (We will not grant permission for additional graphics that replicate the data in the media kit images.)
Request to Publish: Permission to publish additional information about our data in any form (social media, presentations, print or online publication, etc.), including additional numerical analysis of data on our web site and/or in the media kit, requires review by the CCBC. See our Terms of Use for more information.
