content: This series contains published articles by Roberts and other authors, newspaper and magazine clippings, newsletters of organizations with which Roberts was involved, pamphlets, publicity materials, exhibition announcements, catalogs, posters, and press releases. Articles by Colette Roberts are in French and English, clipped and copied from a variety of publications. Roberts' France-Amérique articles are mostly reviews of current exhibitions in New York in French. Articles by others are generally longer writings on art and literature published in journals and magazines by authors including Henry Miller, Philippe Stern, Richard Wright, Dore Ashton, and Dick Higgins, among others. Clippings include reviews of Grand Central Moderns exhibitions, and other happenings in the art world, particularly in New York City and the contemporary art scene of the 1950s and 1960s. Also found are clippings about artists of interest to Roberts such as Jennett Lam, Mark Tobey, George Mattieu, and Louise Nevelson. 

 Newsletters are from the MacDowell Colony, the Peridot Gallery, the Art Students League, and places where Roberts taught. Press releases are mostly for exhibitions of contemporary artists in New York City, at both museums and galleries. Tamarind Lithograph Workshop publications include paper samples, drystamps, and biographies of printmakers. Art-related pamphlets include brochures, publicity, and mailings from cultural organizations in the arts. Non-art-related pamphlets relate to travel, financial, manuals, and other miscellany.
