The Education Series of Juanita Greer White is divided into four sub-series. The first, Western Interstate on Higher Education (WICHE), covers the years 1952 to 1981 and contains reports, correspondence, surveys, minutes, memos, staff lists and budgets. The Status of Women sub-series includes clippings, correspondence, minutes, pamphlets, recommendations and papers presented. The Nevada Southern University sub-series deals mostly with land issues, but does have some newspaper clippings and information on the Nevada Southern Foundation. Also included is the dedication of White Hall in 1976, along with information on female scientists and higher education.

Materials also include digital files of jazz performances from OLLI's Jazz Appreciation class, a video interview about OLLI, and recording of an OLLI panel featuring World War II veterans.
