Some additions to the collection were made after Du Bois's death when the papers were acquired by UMass Amherst. These additions came from, in large part, Herbert Aptheker, who consulted the materials while editing and publishing Du Bois's collected works. Among the letters and writings that Aptheker later forwarded to the Special Collections were photographs taken during the last two decades of Du Bois's life. Other photographs were sent to the repository from Du Bois's former friends and colleagues who had images in their own personal collections they wanted to share.
