The biographical material includes honors, and prize letters, and slightly different versions of her curriculum vita.
Correspondence primarily pertains to art exhibitions at the Old Bergen Art Guild. Condolence letters and sympathy cards are addressed to Ralph Huntley and her daughter, Hazel.
Autobiographical notes are loose pages from a pocket sketchbook with handwritten notes and sketches. "An Artist's Experience in the Everglades" explains how Huntley managed to visit the sanctuary to execute her work, and notes preparations and purchases for the expedition. Accompanied by a color fold-out map of the site, Huntley's narrative vividly describes the physical environment and animals' habits as well as her experiences, thoughts and sentiments. "Lithography" and its final version, "On Making a Lithograph," use Peck's Barn (1955) as an example for lithographic demonstration; the article was published in American Artist (May 1960).
Writings by others are an essay by John Taylor Arms about Huntley that focuses on Nocturne , a lithograph by Huntley that is also the title of the essay. An article by Caroline Durieux describes the lithographic process.
