- Extent:
- 4 boxes
- Scope and content:
-
Contains approximately 160 black-and-white photographs, nine color photographs, eight 35mm slides, and a few negatives. There are a few original photographs, most notably a carte-de-visite of Soujourner Truth, but the majority mainly consists of reproductions from various state archives and the Library of Congress that Painter used as part of her research fopr various writings. Much of the material appears to be research for Exodusters and, to a lesser extent, The Narrative of Hosea Hudson, but other writings are also represented. Arranged in chronological order. Prints 8x10 and larger are housed separately in flat boxes and follow the main list in a separate chronological sequence, with negatives for a few of the prints at the end of the subseries.
