There are thirty items in the African Methodist Episcopal Church ephemera collection, including flyers, calling cards, tickets, etc. Some are annotated with names, dates and miscellaneous notes. Provenance of the collection is unknown but likely the collector was in some way affiliated with the A.M.E. church. The items are grouped as follows: J. Harvey Jones items. Jones was an itinerent preacher and doctor(?) who toured with "The Great Gift Bioramic Bazar" and touted "Dixie Pain King" patent medicine. There are two flyers and several tickets to his various events in this group. A calling card identifies him as a pastor of the A.M.E. church. Eleven items relate to various A.M.E. churches in California. There are announcements of events, tickets, and calling cards from pastors of churches in Stockton, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego, Fresno, and Colusa. Eight items do not relate directly to the church. These include miscellaneous calling cards and notes, also a sheet from a ledger headed "Addresses of persons in California U.S.A." listing African Americans in Oakland and Woodland.
