The Gladys Doyle Collection contains correspondence, photographs, slides, and filmstrips. The correspondence, dated 1935 to 1991, has been arranged in chronological order. It includes "Dear Friends" letters and personal letters written by and to Doyle. Some of this correspondence is written in Hindi. One folder contains undated correspondence and another contains letter fragments and a few holiday cards. A small amount of additional written material is also part of this collection and includes: two biographical items and a small black and white photograph of Doyle, reports on women's evangelical work in the Moradabad Conference (1963-1965), travel itineraries from 1961, and four miscellaneous items which include an undated article on Dora Walters and a pin from the Lal Bagh Girls' Intermediary College Centenary in 1970.

Photographs contained in this collection relate primarily to India, and include black and white as well as color prints. Most of these are unidentified and undated. Those that are dated and identified have been separated and grouped by decade. Slides make up the largest part of this collection. There are approximately 1,025 slides that have been divided into major subject areas such as Moradabad, Lucknow, Bareilly, village life, flora and fauna, individuals, friends, colleagues, literacy, and the Texas Uniting Conference. In addition, there are two filmstrips in this collection which have been placed at the back of the last slide box.
