content: Biographical materials include Feeley's birth certificate, his marriage certificate to Helen Webster, an interview transcript, and resumes. 

Arranged alphabetically, Feeley's correspondence consists of letters from colleagues, institutions and museums, galleries, friends, and family concerning his work, exhibitions and teaching career. Correspondents include Lawrence Alloway, Clement Greenberg, Alex Liberman, Caryn Magid, Helen and Robert Motherwell, the Museum of Modern Art, Howard Nemerov, Barnett Newman, Betty Parsons Gallery, Austin Purves, Gloria Ross, William Trumbull, and the Nicholas Wilder Gallery. Also found is a manuscript by Shirley Jackson and wills and legal records for Feeley's mother, filed under M for "Mother." Correspondence may also include enclosures such as photographs and printed material. Also found are condolence letters written upon Feeley's death to Helen Webster Feeley.

Writings and notes include fictional works by Feeley, a play, notes, and notebooks. Feeley used calendars and diaries as notebooks and these may include enclosures, sketches, and writings on art. Similarly, Feeley's sketchbooks may contain notes and due to the original order of the microfilm, is it difficult to determine the exact number of sketchbooks; these are described together. Of note is a sketchbook kept during Feeley's time serving with the Marine Corps in 1941 and early sketchbooks.

Printed material includes clippings; exhibition announcements and catalogs for Feeley's solo and group exhibitions which may also include scattered letters regarding or giving praise for the exhibition; and a reference collection which consists of works of art by others, likely used at Bennington College. Photographs are of Feeley, his friends and family, exhibitions and events, and works of art. Also found are photographs of works of art and exhibitions of works by Feeley's students at the Cooper Union.
