McGinnis, and Carl Sandburg) can be found in the Manuscripts, A-Z folders. Reminiscences are filed alphabetically by the subject's last name. The Publications Files mainly consist of correspondence and related bureaucratic materials concerning Hubbell's published works, and are arranged alphabetically by title.

As she was also an actor, Leona Hayes served as Hayes's supporting editor and critic; her comments are sometimes included in handwritten notes on the scripts.
