Major series include Writings About Robeson; Awards and Tributes; Cardozo Family, which contains photographs, greeting cards and financial records members of Eslanda Robeson's family; Freedomways which consists of galley proofs of the book, Paul Robeson: The Great Forerunner edited by Freedomways in 1978; and Russian Letters, containing 72 letters written by school children in the Soviet Union to Paul Robeson, congratulating him on his 75th birthday.
