Transcribed interviews of these photographers are supplemented with interview tapes for Martin, Allen, Roberts, Robeson, Flenoy, and Williams through dialogue either with the individual or an acquaintance. Also included are various pre-publication manuscript and photoprint galleys and proofs, correspondence, and miscellanea.
