ProQuest One Black Studies has as its foundation the component parts of Black Studies Center. These are the Schomburg Studies on the Black Experience and Black Studies Periodicals. The Schomburg Studies are a collection of essays by leading scholars providing a basic introduction to major topics in the field of Black Studies. The Black Studies Periodicals consist of articles from over 160 periodicals including scholarly journals, magazines, and current issues periodicals. Starting from these two components, ProQuest Black Studies greatly expands on these sources with an amazing array of primary source material from other ProQuest and Alexander Street databases, brought together, from disparate platforms, into one location.

The centerpiece of ProQuest One Black Studies is ten historical newspapers and over 120 archival collections and 164 full text periodicals. It also features over 900 video titles and images. These collections cover the period from the colonial era through to the 21st Century.
