According to Don Skemer, Curator of Manuscripts,

“The best materials that we have are the legal files of an African American freed slave—the files about which a history graduate student, Mitra Sharafi, has written a fine article that will appear in the Princeton University Library Chronicle.

Some correspondence of selected African American authors in publishers' archives--e.g. Richard Wright in Harper Bros. Zora Neale Hurston in Charles Scribner & Son.

There are also many books by and about African Americans in the Cotsen Children’s Library.”
