The papers chiefly concern Harrison's professional activities as an educator and researcher (1938-1989). Records reflect her work with many scientific organizations in the United States including the ACS, the AAAS, the Association of American Colleges, the Chemical Manufacturers Association, the Education Commission of the States, the National Research Council, the National Science Board and the NSF. Other documents concern many of the conferences that Harrison attended and reflect her association with numerous universities and colleges. Also included are reports, correspondence and articles concerning her official trips abroad. Material in the collection reflects her interest in the support of science education by state and federal agencies, the role and status of women in science, and public health issues. Material relating to Mount Holyoke College (1969-1986) includes correspondence, records for an elementary chemistry course and personal recommendations. This collection also contain her writings (1938-1996) including experiment findings, speeches, and articles; autobiographical and biographical information about Harrison (1949-1999); genealogical information about the Harrison family (1854-1952); and diplomas and other memorabilia (ca. 1884-1998).
