Although there is some material from the Michigan Division of the NSA, the bulk of the collection documents the functioning of a local branch.

Beyond the study of the organization itself, the collection would be useful for studies relating to white-collar workers, professional organizations, the workings of bureaucracies, and women's history. Also, since the collection encompasses the period of the late 1960's and early 1970's when feminism was becoming an important issue, the collection has potential importance for its documentation of the self-image of secretaries and their attitudes towards their work.
