This collection is made up of materials generated by the Mrs. Field's Literary Club from its founding in 1884 until the mid-1990s. The collection includes meeting minutes and financial records, as well as correspondence related to meeting attendance and invitations to guest speakers. Among those materials is a book of handwritten minutes and financial records related to meetings between the Mrs. Field's Literary Club and the Twentieth Century Club, dated 1893-1899.

Much of the collection is made up of materials from social meetings and anniversary events, including programs, menus, essays, play and presentation scripts, photographic prints and slides, audiocassettes with recordings of plays in the early 1980s, and a corsage from the centennial celebration.

The yearbooks, which span from 1884 to 1995, are booklets released annually and provide the constitution and by-laws, member directory, and listing of programs that took place that year.

Also included in the collection are a photographic portrait of Mrs. Mary J. Field and two copies of A History of Mrs. Field's Literary Club (1909), a book published on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the club.
