Numbering over 10,000 titles, May’s collected pamphlets, leaflets, sermons, position papers, offprints, local Anti-Slavery Society newsletters, poetry anthologies, freedmen’s testimonies, broadsides, and Anti-Slavery Fair keepsakes all document the social and political implications of the abolitionist movement. The accompanying manuscript collection inlcudes the correspondence of Lydia Maria Child.
