Subject and research files compiled and organized by Munro date from circa 1950s-2000s and reflect a wide variety of research interests, professional projects, activities, and topics of interest. Types of material include notes, drafts, printed and digital material, correspondence, proposals, interview transcripts, bibliographies, annotated articles, slides, photographs, original artworks, manuscripts by others, and four sound recordings. Printed material includes journals, annotated clippings, exhibition announcements and catalogs, maps, brochures, press releases, and posters. Many files relate to Munro's interest in women artists and serve as research for Originals: American Women Artists (1979). Interview transcripts are with women artists Eleanor Antin, Nell Blaine, Lee Bontecou, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Mary Frank, Maya Lin, Joan Mitchell, Beverly Pepper, Sylvia Stone, Alma Thomas, and others.
