This collection consists of two journals belonging to Mary Catherine Bradley Gillespie. These journals primarily contain poetry written between 1853 and 1889; other entries include notes about sermons, Sunday School lessons, family members, and music. The collection also includes a handwritten transcription by Gillespie's grandson, William Bulford Adamson, and a printed copy of the hardcover book issued by the Trinity University Alumni Association in 1972.

The Trinity University Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics Oral History Project was developed to gain experiences and perspectives into the defining years of women’s athletics on campus. Focusing on the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the project has been able to document insights into the formation of the program under Title IX, the value and benefits of Division III athletics, and the lasting impact coaches and administrators have made on these athletes; none of which was evident in the historical documentation of Trinity University.
