The collection primarily documents the development of the Center's seminars, conferences, and lecture series, and the invitation of scholars, authors, and artists, such as Thomas J. Abercrombie, Celia Bertin, Anthony Burgess, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Judith Halberstam, and June Wayne. The collection consists of correspondence between the director and scholars, authors, and artists about lectures and conferences sponsored by the center; brochures and announcements of Center events; photographs; committee meeting minutes; transcripts of lectures delivered at conferences; and the center's Newsletter. Much of the collection documents the role and scholarship of women in the arts in the twentieth century. Working Papers, a series of works-in-progress published by the center, documents the research and pre-publication of scholarship by the center's fellows. A significant amount of the correspondence is in French, most dealing with "A Week with French Women" and other lectures and visits given by foreign artists and authors. Very little of the collection documents the creation and establishment of the center.
