Dehumanizing and harmful descriptions using racist, colonialist, and sexist language were used to describe many of the items in this collection.

In other cases in which photographs lacked any identifying information, descriptions were created by an archivist.

Wilson, J. N. (Jerome Nelson), 1827-1897
Consists of a stereoview photograph by Jermone Nelson Wilson (1827-1897), depicting Black and white voters in Savannah, Georgia, on Election Day in 1868, which was the first presidential election in which formerly enslaved people in the American South were able to participate. This photograph shows a crowd of Savannah voters lined up around a large banner for the Ulysses S. Grant ticket and includes handwritten captions reading "First Colored Vote" and "Election Scene." Many of the voters in the far distance appear to be Black, and at least one of the dozen men perched on fence posts in the foreground appears to be white.
