The collection also includes materials relating to artist Charlotte Lewis and a poster she designed for the Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross; materials relating to a scholarship created in honor of Nancy Ryles, and Ryles' memorial service program; and stationery and photographs of the Knight Shoe Company, which Delman's father owned in the 1940s and 1950s. Other materials in the collection include the program for "Bal Negre" at the Mayfair Theatre; a brochure for the Police Internal Investigations Audit Committee; a flyer for a Red Cross event on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; a newsletter for Arts Plan 2000+; a memorial service program for Bill Naito; and a 1977 issue of Portland Today with an article about Black-owned businesses in the Albina neighborhood.
