Canadian newspapers

This subseries consists of Canadian newspapers primarily from the 1970s collected by Roy States, including 45 issues of Contrast (between Sept. 16, 1970 and Nov. 8, 1979), 16 issues of Oracle (between Nov. 4, 1976 and May 19, 1977), scattered issues of Uhuru, The Black voice, Ebony Express, Atlantic Black journal, Grasp, The Islander, and some single issues, including of Black Labour, Bulletin Maison d'Haiti, and others.

Non-Canadian Serials

This subseries consists of non-Canadian serials collected by Roy State during primarily the 1970s. The majority of the serials are produced by either Black or African groups and organizations. Also includes some periodicals from the Arab world. Some of the serials are issues of non-Black-produced periodicals, such as Time or History of the 20th century, that contain articles on Black history.

Album and realia

This subseries consists of one volume and two objects. The volume is a photo album with brown covers and plastified adhesive pages containing a collection of clippings, photographs and other documents. It is titled "The life and times of Roy Wellington States, volume II". There is no corresponding "volume I" which is explicitly labeled as such in the collection. The two objects are a framed certificate, signed by Governor General of Canada Jules Léger, which accompanied the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal presented to States, and an engraved brass plaque, mounted on wood, presented to States by the National Black Coalition of Canada.

Loose materials

This subseries consists of assorted documents pertaining to the life and work of Roy States. When the Roy States collection was donated to Rare Books and Special Collections, many of the ephemeral materials were initially placed into individual envelopes or folders, were given individual identification codes, and were listed in the printed finding aid for the collection. In a later processing stage, the envelopes whose contents related most directly to States were assembled into a group and housed in a dedicated box. These reboxed materials now form subseries 02 of Series A. A particularly important biographical item in the subseries is the "Resumé of experience and activity" binder which States complied.
