Collection consist of letters, manuscripts, and other material documenting the life and work of William David Sherman from 1966 to 2002.

These include: Asa Benveniste, Basil Bunting, Cid Corman, Robert Creeley, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, David Goodis, Bill Griffiths, Jeremy Hilton, Lyn Lifshin, Susan Smith Nash, Frances Presley, and Tom Raworth. The largest groups of correspondence are sixteen items from Cid Corman from Kyoto, Japan, all dating from 1996, and twenty-one items from Bill Griffiths, poet and curator of the Eric Mottram Archive at King's College, London, dating from 1994 to 1998. Griffiths' letters, while often personal in nature, discuss literary matters, the literary scene in England, and life in northeastern England. The correspondence also includes letters from friends and acquaintances in Moorea, French Polynesia, where Sherman resided in the early to mid 1990s. The writings include corrected holograph drafts for poems, stories, and essays by Sherman, and several offprints for articles by other writers. Other materials include printed ephemera relating to Sherman and Shreela Ray.
