The collection consists of three manuscripts by Bela Bartok, 1940-1943. These manuscripts totalling approximately 2,170 pages are as follows: 1) Romanian Folk Music - Vol. 1 Instrumental Melodies, Vol. 2 Vocal Melodies, Vol. 3 Texts; 2) Turkish Folk Music; and 3) Serbo-Croatian Table of Materials. Also, a small group of letters by Bartók and other concerning his association with Columbia University.

The collection consists of speeches, reports, publications, research notes, and correspondence. The bulk of the collection relates to Wu's involvement in the American Physical Society as well as her research activities. The correspondence is chiefly professional, relating to C. S. Wu's physics research, professional commitments, appointments, meetings, conferences, and publications. Correspondence also includes letters from individuals around the world praising Wu for her accomplishments, asking advice, arranging speaking engagements, discussing administrative matters, and trading research notes, as well as information on publications and other topics. In addition, the collection contains information on Wu's involvement in the development of an affirmative action program at Columbia University in the 1970's.

SEEC was created by a grant project to catalog the most interesting of the printed materials found in the manuscript collections of the Bakhmeteff Archive (BAR). The items are given accession numbers (e.g., SEEC 1056); a "gb" following the accession number indicates that the item is housed in a folder in a gray box (e.g., SEEC 1056gb). There are currently over 2500 items, all cataloged in CLIO. The original list of printed materials in the BAR (which includes many items not yet added to SEEC) can be found at the RBML reference desk.
