http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/244006401

Black & white and color negatives, proofs, photographic prints, mounted slides, correspondence, business records, and artifacts document the life of African-Americans in Fort Worth and Tarrant County during the mid-20th century, as well as the post-war portion of Littlejohn's career in photography. Individual portraits comprise nearly half (30 linear ft.) of the archive, and document Fort Worth's history at a personal level.

63 feet, 5.5 inches. Approximately 70,000 film negatives and 55,000 prints.
