Contemporary Regional Morgues includes groups of morgue files created and maintained in several of the AFRO's regional offices including Baltimore, Washington D.C., Richmond VA, and Newark N.J. Material in this series dates from approximately the mid-1980s through the early 2010s.

The morgue files related to the AFRO Cooking School contain mainly photographs, photomontages, and clippings from the AFRO Cooking School in each of its locations across the decades. Pictured are the vendor booths and displays, shots of crowds inside and outside venues, prize winners, demonstrators, and attendees. Clippings and captions contain the names and often the addresses of prize winners, and feature large photo-spreads from the event.
