content: Artwork consists of eleven sketches by Block. Biographical data includes a copy of Block's transcript from the Art Students League, an award, and her obituary. Correspondence is with Dorothy Grotz, Aristodemos Kaldis, Jacob Lawrence, and others. A file on Block's uncle Louis Keila consists of a photo of Keila's sculpture and two clippings. 

Photographs depict Block, her family, Michael Freilich, Aristodemos Kaldis, and William von Schlegell; works of art; and an exhibition. Printed material includes clippings and exhibition announcements and catalogs. Writings by Block reflect on her career and the art world, including an article titled "Some Thoughts on Where We Stand" (1972), a fragment of her memoir, and reminiscences of the Federal Art Project.

A mixed media scrapbook contains reproductions of famous paintings annotated by Block for children.
