Much of the material concerns low income housing, particularly the Spring Hill complex. There is considerable material from other civic activities, particularly concerning land use planning and zoning, and health services. Her interest in women's issues and the Virginia ERA fight is reflected in a group of papers on women in politics that includes copies of The Virginia Activist which she edited. Issues of concern through all her papers include women's rights, soil and water conservation, public housing, public health care, concerns of the elderly, civil rights, rapid urbanization, poverty and unemployment, and civic improvement. Correspondents include William Cullen Battle, James Lindsay Almond, Albertis Sydney Harrison, Lt. Gov. Julian Sargeant Reynolds, and William Belser Spong.
