The papers were received by the Library in 1991. They were once part of the collection of the Womens Studies Unit at the Australian National University. The papers consist mainly of secondary source material relating to women's issues. They include journal articles, newscuttings, notes, papers, reports, information circulars and women's journals. A substantial amount of the research material (6 folders) has been collected on the campaigns for equal pay for women both in Australia and overseas. Other subject files include
women and the media, women in the Australian Public Service and womens organisations. There are also papers from women's conferences and miscellaneous copies of various women's journals and newsletters.
The collection was arranged in files with titles when received by the Library. The arrangement of papers within these files and the file titles have been preserved by the Library. Other papers originally part of the Women's Archive and now held by the National Library include those of Beryl Henderson (MS 9360), Edna Ryan (MS 9140), and Thelma Hunter (MS 9353).
