content: Biographical materials include artist statements, CVs, timelines, and writings by Greenbaum about art. A short story about her cat, Miki, also includes sketches of the cat. Also found is a writing about Greenbaum and other sculptors, likely by Kenneth Prescott of the University of Texas at Austin. 

Largely, correspondence concerns Greenbaum's professional career and includes letters from galleries and museums. Records about Greenbaum's works of art are organized both chronologically and alphabetically in lists and inventory cards. Generally, cards include title, date, dimensions, and provenance of her paintings and sculptures. Also found are price lists and lists of exhibitions. 

The bulk of Greenbaum's photographs are of her painting and sculpture, of exhibitions, and of sculpture in situ. Scattered photos of Greenbaum show her posing with works and sculpting. Printed materials consist of clippings and exhibition announcements and catalogs. Of note is a catalog from the first annual sculpture exhibition at the Whitney Studio Club from 1928. 

A scrapbook concerning a 1938 exhibition of outdoor sculpture organized by The Sculptors Guild contains clippings and scattered photographs. Of note is a photo of Milton Horn, Helen Keller, and William Zorach. A mixed-media scrapbook contains letters from John Taylor Arms (writing for Artists for Victory), Leila Mechlin, and Yasuo Kuniyoshi (for Artists Equity); poems to Greenbaum by McAlister Coleman; clippings and exhibition announcements and catalogs; awards and prizes; and photographs of Greenbaum in classroom settings, with friends, colleagues, and notable figures including Isabel Bishop, Estelle Horn, Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, and William Zorach. Also found are photos of Greenbaum's studio and her artworks. 

A sketchbook contains pencil sketches of busts, figures including children, and rabbits.
