The Ladies League of Little Landers was formed in December 1922. The organization later changed its name to the Weeks Community Women's Club, and finally to the Winnetka Women's Club on May 6, 1935. The Winnetka Women’s Club Collection consists of record books which contain minutes from the Executive Board, General Meetings and the Garden Section of the Club proper.

The Ethel Wohlfert Scrapbook Collection consists mostly of correspondence, with some additional news clippings and ephemera from 1938 to 1945. A majority of the correspondence is from Wohlfert’s brother-in-law, Albert Wohlfert, who was a sergeant in the United States Air Force stationed at Hickam Field in Honolulu, Hawaii, before being sent to Europe during World War II.

This collection includes music manuscripts for works composed by women, including Emma Lou Diemer, Cynthia Clark Brown, Melanie Newton Williams, Catherine Parsons Smith, Therese Radic, and Victoria Twigg.

The collection consists of drafts of Iskandar al-Magribi and the Memoirs of Cherif Soliman, correspondence related to research and publication, and administrative records. It includes a Spanish translation of El Rosal de Las Rosas de Purpura and a photocopy of the French translation from the Arabic of Le Divan d'Amour du Cherif Soliman.

The World War II Survivors Oral History Project includes 29 oral history interviews with individuals who lived in Europe during World War II.

The collection consists of 12 V-mail letters written to and collected by George “Geo” Hennessey between 1943 and 1944. The letters are written to both Geo and his wife, Peg, who were living in Brooklyn, New York at the time. The correspondents include Peg’s brothers Lyle Claussen, Harry Claussen and an undecipherable name that could be “Kermit” Claussen, as well as Imrie Anderson. The letters discuss daily life in the war as well as commentary on news from the homefront.
