Typescript and handwritten transcripts of interviews with ex-slaves from 36 Mississippi counties. The narratives contain information such as their owners' name, parents and occupation on the plantation and other details of their lives as slaves. The narratives are brief, most containing an average of 3 to 4 pages. The arrangement is alphabetical by county and within the county alphabetical by interviewee.
An alphabetical list of interviewees follows on page 2. The list includes the name of the interviewee, county of residence and microfilm roll number. Some of the narratives have not been microfilmed; however, photocopies of these may be found in Box #20216.
