- catalog abstract "Series I documents Gladding's work at the reformatory, largely in the nursery. There are also printed materials collected by Gladding, most of which pertain to to the accusations, hearings, dismissal, and reinstatement of Van Waters. There are many letters between Gladding and Van Waters, but little other personal material. Series II comprises the bulk of the collection. Personal materials consist mainly of family letters, diaries, and correspondence with Hans Weiss, a suitor, and Geraldine Thompson, a close friend who was active in social causes in New Jersey. There is also business correspondence and exchanges between Van Waters and prisoners at the reformatory and elsewhere. There are also drafts of speeches given by Van Waters and notes and drafts of articles and other writings. Much of the material relating to the reformatory documents student activities, especially the plays staged by the students and directed by Van Waters. Also included are printed materials pertaining to prison reform, juvenile delinquency, and the death penalty. Series III consists of photographs of scenes and activities at the reformatory, particularly students performing plays. There are also photographs of Van Waters, her friends, and family.".

- catalog description "Her most noted work was as superintendent of the Reformatory for Women in Framingham, Mass. (1932-1957). Her liberal views on penal reform brought her both praise and condemnation. In January 1949 she was fired because of alleged administrative failings, such as condoning lesbianism among the "students" (as she called the prisoners) and failing to supervise a work-release program properly. After a lengthy hearing process she was reinstated. Van Waters was the author of Youth in Conflict (1925) and Parents on Probation (1927). Van Waters also served as director (1919-1920) of El Retiro, a school for delinquent girls in California, referee (1920-1930) for the Los Angeles County Juvenile Court, consultant for the Wickersham Commission (1928-1931), and on a number of other boards and commissions.".
