Additional, but less thorough, documentation present in the collection consists of records, 1939-1951, of the Hudson Shore Labor School (the co-educational successor to the Bryn Mawr School); records, 1927-1932, of the Barnard Summer School for Women Workers in Industry; and records, 1929-[1936?], of the Vineyard Shore Workers' School.
