The collection also contains clippings, correspondence and manuscripts, including personal items and works like Glimpses of South ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ State College (1957). Other materials document her involvement in local organizations and her collaborations with figures like Ada Caldwell. This collection is a valuable resource for understanding the cultural, educational and civic history of South ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ, as well as Young's lasting influence on the state's historical scholarship.
