Stella Harris Oaks did not keep a journal, so this collection is probably the best, first-hand look one can get at her remarkable life. It consists of her research and speech notes, correspondence, and memorabilia files.

Collection contains a CD recording and two transcripts of a speech given by Stella H. Oaks at Lorinda Christina Swenson Phillips' funeral in 1971. The speech makes references to Twin Falls, Idaho, during the 1930's, church firesides, Mutual Improvement Association activities, and community relationships with people such as Vernon, Sarah Yates, and Leonard Arrington.
