Records for the catalogue were also created by Josephine Ryan, assistant to Austin. Catalogue records include correspondence with publisher, editor and authors of essays and entries; essay and catalogue drafts and edits; and meeting notes.

The collection also contains general correspondence, dealer correspondence with Joel Cooner Gallery, 1996 permanent collection installation, and the exhibition Animals in African Art.
