The collection consists of interviews organized by Works Progress Administration, Federal Writers' Project, with women and
men born into slavery. Transcripts, dated 1936-1939, are in multiple formats, and mostly contain name of person interviewed,
date of interview (or date of interview submission), date of birth, and name of research worker, editor or author. Interviews
recount experiences of being enslaved, and are full of anecdotes, folklore, and authentic history. The collection also contains
information concerning the organization and design of the original interview structure.
