The Katharine Hogle Cole papers (1938-1999) document a life dedicated to politics. Included in the collection is her extensive correspondence with Eileen Bernal, a founder of the Peace Councils Movement in England, and wife of Marxist activist, John Bernal. More personal than political, the correspondence documents a friendship of 30 years, until Eileen Bernal's death in 1990.

Katharine Hogle Cole (1911-2004) was a humanitarian and social activist. The Katharine Hogle Cole photograph collection consists of photographs, slides, and negatives documenting Cole's family, friends, travels, and activism throughout the twentieth century.
