The collection contains very little information concerning Insley's family, childhood, adolescence, or college years. It does provide information about her professional life, her leadership in the maternal and child health field, and the movement to make social services a necessary component of health care programs. Papers include curricula vitae, certificates, photographs, her master's thesis, financial and medical records, personal and professional correspondence, writings, speeches, and conference material.
