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.

Kawakami family photograph album
Visual Materials
A photograph album depicting a Japanese American family in California in the pre-internment period, along with portraits of Japanese family members. There isn't any writing in the album, but one photograph is inscribed "To Mr. S. Kawakami," who may be the compiler. The album begins with formal portraits of family groups in traditional Japanese dress that were most likely taken in Japan. A photograph of a young child laid into the album has Japanese printing on it, and there are a few pressed flowers in the album. Other images show Japanese Americans in California, including the University of California, Berkeley campus; a large group in front of the Berkeley Buddhist Temple on Channing Way, Berkeley; Ocean Park Pier in Santa Monica; downtown Los Angeles; Santa Barbara Mission; and San Francisco. Three images depict a sumo wrestling match that may have taken place in California.

Albums 2-4
Visual Materials
Four photograph albums containing a total of 218 images (chiefly 4.5 x 6.5 inches) of the Philippine American War in Cebu, Philippines, taken by an unidentified photographer most likely associated with the 19th U.S. infantry stationed in Cebu. Primarily in Cebu with some in San Nicolas and elsewhere, the images document Filipino life and culture as well as U.S. soldiers in military activities and recreation. Three photographs depict the refueling of a hospital ship in Hong Kong, and there are also images of the recruitment of Indigenous soldiers in Puerto Rico, and rare views of the surrenders of Filipino generals Mateo Noriel Luga and Aguedo del Rosario. The photographs are captioned and numbered continuously throughout the four albums. The first album, images 1 to 54, contains mostly detailed panoramas (3.5 x 12 inches) of Cebu and its port, plaza, and bay. The second album, images 55 to 109, contains a range of subjects including the 19th Infantry band baseball team, Filipino homes and families, elaborate Holy Day celebrations in San Nicolas, and several photographs of insurgents and their surrenders. The third album, images 111 to 165, includes church interiors, street and market scenes, and a family identified as "Spaniard and Filipino Mixed Family." The fourth album, images 166 to 218, includes several scenes from the 19th Infantry's training in Michigan, prior to their arrival in the Philippines; interior shots of Colonel Edward J. McClernand's home; a church procession in the streets of Cebu; and the deportation of prisoners to Guam. Some writing in the album reflects racist views toward Filipino and Chinese people.
