Consists of material detailing Kramer's career as an instructor at Columbia College, 1934-1953; collection also focuses upon her eighteen-year tenure as director for Columbia Children's Theatre productions at Town Theatre. Kramer's direction of Workshop Theatre's first full-length play, "Dylan," in 1967 is also documented.
