The Old Slave Mart Museum Collection is largely comprised of photocopied material, consisting of meeting minutes from the Miriam B. Wilson Foundation and a history of the museum compiled for a grant application in 1985. It also contains audio cassettes tapes of Foundation meeting minutes, Foundation correspondence, the Old Slave Mart Museum collection inventories, and a 1929 postcard of the Old Slave Market.
