The collection consists primarily of records of the Duniway Publishing Company and the Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association. The Duniway Publishing records include cash books, mailing books, and advertising ledgers (1880-1886) of the publication The New Northwest. The Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association records include a minute book, membership and account books, constitutions, a small amount of correspondence, and a copy of a letter from Susan B. Anthony regarding the woman's suffrage movement. Also of note in the collection is a copy of a typed transcript of the journal Abigail Scott Duniway kept from April 2, 1852, to September 28, 1852, during her family's overland trek from Illinois to Oregon City, Oregon. The transcript contains an introduction by Leslie M. Scott. A subscription list from the Oregon State Secular Union from 1891 is also included in the collection.
