What is in the collection:

"The family has preserved priceless artifacts from slavery times, including the lock from Wallace White's shackles, but also photographs, paintings, clothing and other unusual items that testify to the rich and productive he, his ancestors, and many others lived in the Ozarks.

"Not only does the OAAHM preserve this unusual collection, but each piece has a story. Fr. Moses, descended from the Whites and the Berrys, has a wealth of information about each piece, handed down through a rich oral tradition. The OAAHM also has a small collection of antique African textiles and implements" _ OAAHM
