Includes primarily 4 x 6 black and white prints bearing the initials "NL" inscribed on the back, sometimes also with descriptive titles. Also includes several larger-format matted prints. Nothing further has come to light about this categorization, which may span more than one project.

Primarily comprised of 4 x 6 black and white prints depicting the everyday life of New Orleans residents. It also includes two larger prints the origins of which are not clear, but which seem to belong to this project. Several of the small prints are inscribed on the back with the initials "NL" and "NO," indicating that these belong both to the Negro Life category, as well as to the category New Orleans.

Includes photographs of Ed Koch, David Dinkins, possibly Jesse Jackson, and other community leaders.
