The collection was originally received by the Museum on September 7, 1993. Images were added to the collection through 2007. The collection reflects the work of a committee that was founded to compile Black history. Not all images in the collection have been digitized. Access to the full collection is available in the Sloan Museum of Discovery Research Room by appointment.

The collection depicts scenes of Black life in Flint, Michigan including people, buildings and objects. The images feature ordinary and prominent members of the community as they went about their daily lives.
