Transcripts of book reviews, correspondence and several of James's works are present including "The notebooks of Henry James," and "The scenic art," as well as "The diary of Alice Jame." There is material on James by authors including a manuscript copy of "A stormy night" by Muriel West, together with notes, plays, critical studies, correspondence, playbills, book jackets and reprints.
