The collection consists chiefly of Massey's collection of James Joyce ephemera, particularly slides and photographs of the Zurich graves of James and Nora Joyce and of scenes in Zurich associated with Joyce, several of which were used to illustrate a lecture on Joyce that Massey gave in Zurich. A few items in the collection were added at later dates by Mary Massey and Connie Massey Dulaney. Joyce ephemera includes a calling card with the words "with compliments" in the hand of Joyce, a box of matches from the James Joyce Pub of Zurich, and periwinkle and [barberry?] from Joyce's grave. The collecion also contains dealers' catalogs; clippings of articles on Joyce literary sites and events; a broadside advertising a musical comedy based on "Finnegan's wake"; a Peters Rushton Seminar address on Joyce by Richard Ellmann; and two printed articles "Recollections of James Joyce" by his brother Stanislaus Joyce, and "Stephen Dedalus: Eiron and Alazon" by Robert E. Scholes.
