The papers in the collection are comprised of a variety of materials dealing with American Indians and related topics, in particular with Indians of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Evidence of both Mrs. Stone's activities as a social worker and community services consultant, and of her interests in children, youth, and education, is to be found in her papers. The emphasis of the collection is on education and health and social services topics. Also, her leadership and participation in conferences and meetings, government projects on all levels, and university programs to encourage and aid Indian high school and college students can be seen. Most of the collection is in the form of printed reference material and articles, including a large series of publications (newspapers and magazines) written for, by, and about Indians. Few truly personal papers are present.

The collection is organized into these categories: Personal Papers, Government Agencies, Organizations, Conferences, Education Reference File, Publications, and Reference Files. A small quantity of additional material of Mrs. Stone's which was presented in 1971 via the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is housed at the Area Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. A listing of that material is at the beginning of the contents list.
