http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/471475372

The Marion H. Steele papers, spanning the years 1906-1999, contain correspondence, newspaper clippings, publications, ephemera, employment documents, photographs, programs, postcards, professional files, journals, obituaries, bibliography, greeting cards, and video tapes.

The papers also show her connection to the University of Delaware's Women's College, and her involvement with the Alumnae Association in the 1930s.
