The series consists of Berman's research files on Force's biographical information, her family, friends and acquaintances, colleagues, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the Whitney Museum's administrative files, Whitney Studio and Club files, files regarding the merger between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum, and topics relating to historical events of the early 1900s. The files contain photocopies of archival records, printed materials, Berman's notes, letters from Berman to Force's acquaintances requesting recollections of Force, and photographs and other records on MacDougal Alley, Barley Sheaf Farm, and Force's English cottage referred to as Coweb Cottage.

These projects are an unpublished typescript by Berman on Coweb Cottage, entries on Force and Lloyd Goodrich for American National Biography encyclopedias, and material on women in folk art for Berman's contribution to the exhibition catalog A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America (2014).
