content: Found are pencil and pen sketches of animals, botanical designs, children, figures, portraits, and other subjects largely unsigned and unlabeled. There are three mounted charcoal works signed by Nancy Coonsman that also name Frederick Oakes Sylvester, one of which may be a portrait of Sylvester. Biographical materials include two calling cards hand drawn by Hahn and a perfume advertisement. Scattered correspondence is with institutions including the American Women's League and People's University. Also found are notes from children. 

Photographs include an album regarding Hahn's memorial in Cheppy, France and show her at work on the sculpture and at the dedication. Also found are portraits and snapshots of Hahn, some of which show her works, snapshots of Hahn with family and friends, and photos of her works of art. Photographs of others include a portrait of Adele Schulenberg Gleason, Hahn's studio partner, and a child model. 

Printed materials consist of clippings and exhibition announcements and catalogs, and a 1901 catalog from the Ecclesiastical Department at Tiffany Studios. Two mixed material scrapbooks primarily focus on Hahn's career through clippings, exhibition material, and a receipt from the state of Missouri to Hahn for the completion of her World War I memorial in France. Writings include a poem associated with Hahn's Pioneer Mother memorial and a note entitled "Steps in Modeling a Head."
