The series consists of subject file correspondence of Martha Berry as founder and director of Berry Schools, Berry Junior College, and Berry College (Mount Berry, Ga.) from 1908-1941.

The series also contains applications for employment at the Schools, attempts (1921) by Berry to obtain a tax exemption for the Schools, and correspondence between Berry and Inez Wooten Henry. The letters between Berry and Henry are more personal and reflect Berry's feeling and concerns on various topics.
