Contains newsletters, programs, annual event meeting minutes, and events from the Olive Guild's volunteer efforts. Activities and projects are discussed, process and correspondence when choosing new chaplains are enlightening, and budgets, fundraising, as well as more personal insights like devotionals and prayer requests all give a window into the parochial volunteer work of this group, the network of churches that supported it, and the thinking behind it.

Contains press, clippings, correspondence, handbooks, and other ephemera from the Volunteer Department at Olive View. Press and clippings show volunteers, including Candy Stripers, in action at events and visiting patients in the hospital. Correspondence and handbooks illuminate attitudes about patients and reception of the volunteer program at the Olive View. They also elucidate gender, class, and race issues in the make up of the volunteer corps and the patients they served.
