The records of the Episcopal Women’s History Project contains interviews and corresponding transcripts conducted with eighteen distinguished Episcopal women along with photographs, printed materials, and correspondence relating to the interviewees. These interviews span 1979 to 1991 with the majority taking place between 1981 and 1986. Additionally, the collection contains a questionnaire and its associated responses and correspondence that was sent to thirty-eight Episcopal women leaders in an attempt to document their experiences in the Church.

These records span the years 1943 to 1976 but are very limited from 1943 to 1961. From 1964 to 1976 the records include minutes, committee reports, correspondence, delegate lists, financial reports, election records, and related mailings and printed materials. The records of the President of the 1976 Triennial Meeting, Pamela Chinnis, who later became the first female President of the House of Deputies, are feature prominently. Of note are addresses given by notable women leaders, including Verna Dozier, Marion Kelleran, Letty Russell, and Carmen Hunter.
