The collection consists of five series: Manuscripts, Correspondence, Photographs, Subject Files and Research Materials, and Ephemera. Manuscripts are subdivided into manuscripts by Octavia E. Butler, notecards, diaries, commonplace books, and manuscripts by others. They are arranged alphabetically by author, then title or chronologically within each subseries. These manuscripts consist primarily of drafts of short stories and novels, and related notes. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by the author's last name, then chronologically. This series includes correspondence to and from Octavia E. Butler by friends, editors, family members, and other authors. Photographs are arranged chronologically in several groups: loose photos (small), loose photos (large), album pages, and photo album. This series includes images from Octavia's travels and speaking engagements.The subject files represent Octavia's arrangement of clippings by topic. The research materials are other clippings and subject materials that have been arranged by the cataloger, using Octavia's schema where possible. The ephemera are arranged in 19 subseries, alphabetically. In addition there are oversize materials, housed separately, for all the above series. Researchers should be sure to search the oversize series for additional materials.
