The Ann Elizabeth Moore Papers (1954-1978) consist of correspondence, schoolwork, photographs, artwork and memorabilia. All materials are organized alphabetically by document type, with correspondence further organized chronologically within its folders. The largest amount of material is correspondence, and within that category most letters are written to Ann from her friends. The earliest letters date from when Ann was only eight years old, and most correspondence continues until after her high school graduation, making the letters exceptionally noteworthy as a window into Ann’s girlhood and adolescence. Her friends wrote to her about boys, school, music, and other topics. Letters written from Ann to her parents after she immigrated to Guyana in 1976 as part of the Peoples Temple community in Jonestown are especially significant. Ann’s schoolwork spans her years at Davis Junior High School and Davis Senior High School. One of her school reports, about the 1960s pop musician Donovan, is particularly notable not only for its contents but also for the detailed marginalia that Ann drew. The collection contains a significant amount of Ann’s artwork, including small books she assembled and illustrated as well as her sketches and drawings.

20 letters, postcards, and cards from Patrick Clary, first husband of Rebecca Moore and brother-in-law to Ann Moore. The correspondence spans from 1968 to 1972 and details Pat's time in the military and immediately following. Earlier letters describe Pat's training in San Antonio, Texas, and then his life in Washington, D.C., where he attended Georgetown University. Correspondence is arranged by date, with letters at the end of the folder being un-dated but written while Patrick was in Vietnam.
