This series includes diaries, school records, calendars, and tributes to Judith Raskin, both in life and death. Of particular note is a piece written by Raskin's mother, Lillian Mendelsohn Raskin, in 1949, entitled A Parent Inquires: How can I help my gifted child? Raskin's death and funeral are covered with various eulogies, obituaries, and information on the memorial recitals performed in her name.

This series includes correspondence with both family members and friends and associates. A major portion of the family correspondence is from Judith Raskin to her parents during her first three years at Smith. There is also a significant amount of correspondence between Raskin and fellow Smith alumna Mary Elizabeth Ford during the 1960s. In addition to fan mail there is a sizable number of condolences received by the Raskin family after Judith Raskin's death in 1984. The correspondence between Raskin and Anna Hamlin is of particular interest in that operatic technique is freely discussed by both student and teacher.

This series comprises the bulk of the collection and includes programs from Raskin's performances over the years as well as reviews, articles, and press materials both by and about Raskin. Also included in this series are financial records, contracts, and notes regarding repertoire and technique by both Anna Hamlin and Raskin. Of special interest is the collection of correspondence and site reports from Raskin's participation in the National Endowment for the Arts.

This series includes publicity head shots and portraits, an extensive collection of photos of Raskin in performance and rehearsal, and some personal photographs of Raskin and others. Quite notable is the exhaustive collection of photographs detailing the rehearsal and staging of the NBC Opera's Don Giovanni, starring Raskin, Cesare Siepi, and Leontyne Price. Other photos of note are the framed and autographed photographs of Raskin's teacher Anna Hamlin, taken in 1926 and the 1917 shot of Hamlin's teacher, Marcella Sembrich.
