content: Andrus's papers include six pencil sketches of her studio in Dobbs Ferry, New York and landscapes. Letters are from Mildred McGill at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Yovan Radinkovitch. 

Twelve diaries date from 1939-1976 and are incomplete. They contain drafts of letters; clippings; lists of exhibited, sold and proposed lithographs and paintings; poems; a short autobiography; notes for the books Sea Dust and A Wisconsin Story; and accounts of Andrus's travels to the Caribbean (1939), France (1956), Florida (1962), Spain (1966) and Maryland (1972). Highlighted events include Andrus's appointment to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1952, her studies in France in 1956, and her life in Gloucester, 1964-1966, and Rockport, Massachusetts. Other diary topics include Geo-metrical Art, 1957, the Rockport Art Association, and details of exhibitions throughout her career.

Printed material consists of clippings and exhibition materials, some of which are photocopies. Photographs include snapshots and portraits of Andrus and of her works of art.

Writing project files may contain drafts, correspondence, clippings, reproductions of works of art, and notes. Of note are Andrus's drafts for The Shining River: a Sketchbook on the Hudson and The Spirit and the Candle.
