George T. Teal (1868-1941) was a Black business owner of a tinsmith shop in Crockett, Texas, from the 1890s to the 1940s. This small collection of Teal family materials consists mainly of George Teal's Texas tax payment receipts, dating from 1903 and 1941. There are some additional family receipts and a notebook documenting Teal's tinsmith work. The collection would be of potential interest to those researching structurally racist policies and deceptive practices related to property assessments and taxes.

The National Negro Licensed Beverage Association (NNLBA) was a trade organization, members of which were Black-owned bars, taverns, and package liquor stores. The NNLBA was organized in 1959 to increase the economic power of the Black community and enhance its bargaining power within the industry. This small collection of NNLBA, Western Pennsylvania Branch records consists primarily of agendas and meeting minute notes of meetings that took place between March and July of 1961; they are a mixture of typescript and handwritten.
