The Portia Willis FitzGerald Papers consist of .25 linear feet and are primarily related to her suffrage activism, although quite a few items relate to her family. Much of the collection appears to have been part of a scrapbook and reflects the selective nature of such a compilation. This is far from a complete set of papers. Types of material include correspondence, speeches, writings, photographs, newspaper clippings, and memorabilia.

This collection is organized into four series:

• I. Biographical Material
• II. Correspondence
• III. Writings and Speeches
• IV. Memorabilia and Printed Material
