Correspondence, subject files, and travel diaries. The correspondence was conducted over the years between Douglas, her family, and numerous colleagues, and covers the period from her arrival at Queen's University at Kingston as Dean of Women in 1939, until just prior to her death. The travel diaries, kept in meticulous detail by Douglas, chronicle her travels over the years, often undertaken in the course of her work with the International Federation of University Women and the International Astronomical Union. The subject files are of a personal, rather than professional, nature.
