A. Subject/Correspondence/Speech Files, 1950s-2000s

The sub-series contains primarily letters, notes, cards, newspaper clippings, and other saved paper materials on a variety of topics collected by Helen Young. These documents were filed alphabetically on topics for speeches, articles, or classes. Files included a range of topics across the alphabet; for example: comfort, fulfillment, gambling, modesty, women's work, and others. Helen's handwritten notes on many of these topics provide valuable insight into her thoughts on matters over many decades. She also saved files on fundraising projects, Pepperdine history, community involvement, church work, and many other interests.

Most paper materials are foldered in a topically-named folder. There are also a number of boxes with unsorted material. In these boxes, Helen wrote a topic on each item to be filed later.
