They consist primarily of correspondence, notes, writings, and printed matter relating to Elkisch's work as a psychoanalyst. Included are several patient case files which Elkisch used as subjects for published and unpublished writings. The writings include reprints of Elkisch's published articles on topics relating to child psychiatry, handwritten drafts of papers describing a few of her patient cases, and files relating to her apparently unfinished study of the German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke.
