The Personal materials series contains multiple sub-series. Planners and calendars are contributed by both Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Hal Sedgwick. The Buddhism notebooks sub-series contain notes and materials from conferences and lectures. The Travel sub-series has a chronology of Sedgwick's travel, notebooks, and files of ephemera and other materials related to travel; these are filed by location. The Panda archive consists of artifacts and ephemera involving pandas, including textiles, jewelry, stuffed animals, and other memorabilia. The Financials series includes correspondence and communication about employment and salaries, invoices and receipts, expenses, and financial reports. The Medical information and cancer research consists of both Sedgwick's own medical records and her files reflecting her research and activism around cancer and cancer survivors. The Mixed personal materials sub-series contains ephemera and artifacts, items presented to Sedgwick, personal and educational documents, and a few photographs. Of special note are the dream and sleep journals. Hal Sedgwick's class notes and readings reflect his career as an educator and include class syllabi, readings, and files of material about Marcel Proust. The final sub-series consists of hats owned by Eve Sedgwick Kosofsky, some of which she created. Hats known to be created by Kosofsky or commercially produced are noted at the item level.
