The Allin Papers rank as the most comprehensive archive of personal papers of any primate in The Episcopal Church. The archive documents each of the venues in which Allin practiced his ordained ministry and, equally importantly, closely reflects the relationships he developed in his vocational life.

The archive concentrates on Allin’s 1974-1985 term as Presiding Bishop but provides substantial evidence of his service to the Church in ordained ministry, as well as personal pursuits after his retirement. The collection includes sermons, correspondence, photographs, and audio and video recordings. Allin’s life prior to his election as Presiding Bishop is documented by personal calendars, correspondence, and photographs.

The Papers of Bishop Daniel Corrigan include correspondence, printed material, photographs, legal documents, and reports documenting the Bishop's interest in and active involvement with the Ecumenical Movement, the Vietnam War and Peace Movements, and the ordination of women in the Episcopal Church. The bulk of the material dates from the 1960s and 1970s and documents Corrigan's dedication to ending racial segregation and his commitment to the ordination of women.

The papers of Charles Radford Lawrence and Margaret Morgan Lawrence document Charles’s activities as a sociologist, professor, civil rights activist, and President of the House of Deputies of The Episcopal Church.

Margaret Lawrence’s work and research, which centered on the long-term effects of racism on the health of black families, is also featured in the collection.
