The richest sources of documentation in the collection are Fix’s early diaries, which describe her life as a resident of Walla Walla and a Whitman College student and staff member from 1889-1893 and 1902-1907. In them, she describes her work, social activities and relationships with family, friends, and coworkers. Transcriptions of most of the diaries from this period are available for use.

The collection also contains a small correspondence series; of particular interest are Fix’s letters to her sister. Other items include handwritten poems and poem fragments, papers from her student years at Whitman College, nearly 70 photographs, postcard collection primarily featuring images of Walla Walla, the American West and Canada, and Whitman College and Walla Walla ephemera.

Fix , Sanders, and Goodwin family papers round out the collection.
