Miye Matsukata's correspondence is with her mother Miyo, business manager James Hubbard, and various customers and colleagues. Correspondence between Hubbard and Matsukata documents business matters during the period that she was in Japan for an exhibition. Other correspondence is with organizations requesting Matsukata for speaking and exhibition events, friends, and other family members. The correspondence with Takashi and Saya Oka contains an "Interview with Miye Matsukata." The postcards, some of which are blank, were kept by Matsukata for inspiration.

Photographic materials include color and black and white photographs, negatives, slides, and several glass slides of Matsukata, her family, Janiye, jewelry and dinnerware, and travel. Photographs of Matsukata consist of portraits for Janiye publicity material, snapshots, teaching at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and with classmates from Principia College and The Museum School. Matsukata is also pictured with opera singer Beverly Sills wearing a necklace Matsukata created. Family photographs are of Matsukata's immediate and extended family mostly taken in Japan. Many of the family photographs date from the early 1900s. Travel photographs are from Japan, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Poland, and other unidentified locations.
One photo album includes captions for a mixture of family, travel, and jewelry photographs. The slide sets were removed from their original boxes but retain their original order. Five slide boxes contain multiple slide sets per box that are separated by dividers. The sets include images of Matsukata, landscapes, jewelry, and travel locations. Some of the sets may have used for presentations or publicity, but most of the boxes were unidentified.
