The Helen Buckler Papers documents the work of a freelance journalist and author, who was interested in issues relating to women, civil rights, social welfare, race relations, aviation, personalities, travel, and gastronomy. The collection includes personal and professional correspondence; undergraduate class work, newspaper clipping of her published works; freelance writing files, manuscripts, promotional materials from her work at the National Council of Negro Women, Camp Fire Girls, and other nonprofits; photographs; and research files and notes. She was involved in public relations for numerous nonprofit organizations including the YMCA, Camp Fire Girls, and the National Council of Negro Women. She published two well-received books: Doctor Dan: Pioneer in American Surgery, early African American physician and surgeon, and Wo-He-Lo: The Story of Camp Fire Girls, 1910-1960, a history of the first 50 years of Camp Fire Girls.
