Included are Ginzberg's letters to Solomon Schechter, Cyrus Adler, and Louis Finkelstein (the three Seminary presidents under whom he served); to colleagues both within and outside the Seminary; students; publishers; and others. The rest of the material consists of a small group of typescripts of writings, ca.1910s-1950s, and papers documenting. Birthday celebration and other honors, his funeral, and memorial services. Included among the writings are Ginzberg's memorial adresses for Rabbi David Hoffman (1922), Cyrus Adler (1940), and Alexander Marx (1953); a group of Talmud lectures, 1941-1942; and other speeches, lectures, and articles. Of note is a published copy of Ginzberg's World War Two era "Prayer for Divine Aid."
