A microfilm copy of "The Negro as an American Protestant Missionary in Africa," a Ph.D. dissertation written by W.C. Harr in 1945 at the University of Chicago, was transferred to the University of Massachusetts Library Microforms Collection.

Material removed from normal series location includes originals of oversize materials, newspaper clippings, and other items that have been copied for use in the collection, and whole issues of The New York Times and Time Magazine. The copies are in normal series location, while the originals are to be found in Series 11. Only the relevant portions of periodical issues have been retained. About eleven linear feet of duplicate copies of materials, mostly printed, have been removed.

All of the files associated with Lincoln University in Series 4 were separated from the collection in 1989 and returned to the Lincoln University Archives.
