Processing InformationThis collection joins five groups of miscellaneous photographs that were cataloged separately priorto 2012, but collectively known, informally, as the "JWJ Photos" collection. In 2012 , the five groupsof photographs were listed in this finding aid as five series and rehoused into standard archivalcontainers. Because the library historically maintained these groups separately, they were not interfileddespite overlapping content and provenance. The title of each series was taken directly from thecorresponding former catalog record for each group; the subseries within each series also reflect theexisting arrangement and description of the images. File titles were transcribed from folders withminimal correction.

Formerly classed as JWJ Zan5 +1, JWJ Zan5 +2, JWJ Zan5 +3, JWJ Zan5 +4, JWJ Zan5 +5, and Za Objects.Series I-V in this collection reflect these original groupings, with the following exceptions:

Photographs collected by Langston Hughes once classed with JWJ Zan5 +2 have been returned to theLangston Hughes Papers (JWJ MSS 26). Photographs donated by Poppy Cannon White were removedfrom JWJ Zan5 +2 and returned to the Walter Francis White and Poppy Cannon Papers (JWJ MSS 38).Photographs collected by Chester Himes were removed from JWJ Zan5 +2 and incorporated into theChester Himes Papers (JWJ MSS 42). Photographs by Carl Van Vechten once classed with the formerJWJ Zan5 +3 have been returned to the Carl Van Vechten Papers (JWJ Van Vechten). Photographs by orcollected by Richard Wright once classed with the former JWJ Zan5 +3 have been incorporated into theRichard Wright Papers (JWJ MSS 3).

History of the CollectionThe James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection in the Yale Collection of American Literature was foundedin 1941 by Carl Van Vechten. It stands as a memorial to Dr. James Weldon Johnson and celebrates theaccomplishments of African American writers and artists, with an emphasis on those of the HarlemRenaissance. Grace Nail Johnson contributed her husband's papers, leading the way for gifts of papersfrom Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Walter White and Poppy Cannon White, Dorothy Peterson, Chester Himes, andLangston Hughes. The Collection also contains the papers of Richard Wright and Jean Toomer.

The library at one time maintained several photograph files within the JWJ Memorial Collection dedicatedto images of and by African Americans. These files included photographs donated by Carl Van Vechten,Johnson's widow Grace Nail Johnson, and Langston Hughes, as well as photographs acquired from othersources. For many years, photographs that came to the library as part of manuscript collections were alsoremoved from their original context and added to the files. This practice was reversed beginning in the1990s; as manuscript collections were processed, photographs were repatriated whenever it was possibleto determine their provenance, and when it was clear that they had not been given specifically for the

separate photograph files. In 2012, what remained of five separately described runs of files classed as JWJZan5 were joined to form this collection.
