This accession primarily contains notebooks and notes by William Sloane Coffin on religion, philosophy, and current events, 1940s-circa 2006, apparently used for his sermons and other writings. It also contains two address books kept by Coffin, undated; a card with a quotation by him, 2006; and notes on religious schedules and events, undated.

This accession was transferred from the basement of Battell Chapel and contains a wide variety of materials almost entirely dating between 1966 and 1968. Materials are arranged alphabetically by topic and folder headings are largely derived from the original folders. Most of the materials are clippings, pamphlets, and other collected material. There is very little correspondence and it is all found within topical folders. The small amount of writings and sermons are listed under those headings.
