Consists of the papers of Mrs. Virginia (Scott) Miner (Mrs. Dewey Hobson Miner), 1901-1982, poet. The materials include correspondence, diaries, poems, notebooks, and scrapbooks; musical settings by composers Leo Ascher, Mary Mildred Chubb, Eileen B. Maltby, and Alfred R. Service, and drawings by illustrators Dorothy Bayley, Harold M. Sichel, and Katherine Richardson Wireman for poems by Mrs. Miner; poems and prose by many of the students at Pembroke-Country Day School; and a group of letters and writings by former students Martin Cohen, Geoffrey Alexander Oelsner (with a few drawings), and Paul Williams.

Printed materials include clippings of poems, many of which were removed from the scrapbooks, several periodicals in which the poems appeared, book reviews, articles, and a high school yearbook of 1917 in which Miner's first published poem appeared.
