In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Abbreviations Each narrative is supplied with a published source which may be checked by the reader. In some cases, there were two texts which were left in the records—some duplicates,some re-writes,some alternative interviews.Where they have been published, the references to both have been given. M Main Series (Rawick 1972) S1 Supplement, Series 1 (Rawick 1977) S2 Supplement, Series 2 (Rawick 1979) OK Oklahoma Slave Narratives (Baker and Baker 1996) The Rawick publications are in multiple volumes, so the volume number is given. Many of the volumes, moreover, are composed of several different parts which often have their own pagination, so the part number is supplied as needed. The final numbers are the pages on which the published narrative may be found. For example, [M:9: pt. 3: 195–201] is interpretable as pages 195 to 201 in part 3 of volume 9 in the Main Series (Rawick 1972).
