content: The series contains Montgomery's files on subjects she researched over her multi decade long career as an arts administrator. Included is material on African and African American arts and history, Black media, Black photographers, the museum profession, and artists. Artists included in Montgomery's research are Betye Saar, Lois Mailou Jones, Nike Davies-Okundaye, Romare Bearden, Ruth Waddy, Sam Gilliam, and significant files on Sargent Johnson, most of which were most likely created while curating Johnson's retrospective in 1971 for the Oakland Museum. The files consist of 29 sound and video recordings, 3 born digital records, printed materials, notes, artists' biographical materials, correspondence, and other material related to her research subjects.  Also included are notes on printmaking, twins, and grants, as well as three notebooks regarding projects, travel plans, and other professional activities.
