The papers consist primarily of correspondence (originals and typed copies) from Collin to Smith College classmate Mary Aimee Goodman (class of 1896). There are also a few letters to Miriam W. Webb, and a single letter addressed to Mary Aimee Goodman from Grace's father, Charles A. Collin. Grace Collin's early correspondence (1894-1902) is centered around her work and publications, her involvement with the Smith College Club of New York, and her travels. Later letters (1902-1913) focus on her frustration as a professional writer in a male dominated field, her successes, family, and her role in helping to establish the Elizabeth King Memorial Fund for Smith College students.
