Published memoir, "Why doncha write a book", an anecdotal account of Goldhamer's experiences as Federation director, correspondence, speech texts, published and unpublished writings, annual Federation reports, a testimonial scrapbook, and clippings.

Writings, mostly typescripts, also include materials Goldhamer prepared for others, along with notes, memoranda and outlines. Topics discussed in the speeches and writings include the Federation and its activities, Jewish social work, the depression, and the Cleveland Community Fund. The materials in the collection provide an insider's view of Jewish social welfare work and Federation activities, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s.
