There are materials, including the audio script and correspondence, related to the exhibition Designs of the Ndebele that was curated by Knight and Priebatsch and organized by Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES).  There is also correspondence about the Ndebele exhibition (1977), which was held at the Museum of African Art (now the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art), with Warren Robbins, the founder of the Museum.  The collection's exhibition files for shows held at the Natalie Knight Gallery/Knight Galleries International include Art of the Ndebele: Evolution of a Cultural Identity (1998), a product of the exhibition by the same name held at the Atlanta International Museum in 1998, Thomas Kgope (circa 1990), Ndebele Images: Beadwork, Body-Art and Photographs (circa 1980s), and New African Encounters (circa 1980s).  Additionally, there is material related to Knight and Priebatsch's book, Ndebele Images, including a draft, correspondence, research, and published copy.
