Series I. Papers, 1929-1935

This series contains research material, including notes, bibliographical lists, and descriptions concerning children's magazines as well as letters to Hazeltine. The letters are from librarians answering her inquiries about children's periodical holdings. In addition to the lists of magazine titles, there are handwritten sheets with descriptive information relating to individual magazines. It appears that most of the material is related to a proposed book project on the history of children's magazines that would have also included information regarding the holdings of individual libraries.

Series II. Photographs, 1890-1930

This series contains photographs, organized by subject, which were found in the home of Alice I. Hazeltine and transferred to the Columbiana Collection in 1959. The photographs feature bridges, roads, buildings and private homes. There is an extensive collection of mostly unidentified portraits from the 1890s to the 1910s, featuring groups of students from when Hazeltine was a student at Syracuse as well as presumably family and friends. There are also some personal portraits.
