Collection includes a scrapbook containing university forms, clippings, programs,
brochures, photographs, and other memorabilia from Cameron's student days at Stanford,
1965-1969; and outgoing letters to family, 1965-1967, discussing her social life, fashions,

cable car and photographs of the cable car, a white armband from a Vietnam War protest,
1967, and the undergraduate women's bill of rights (re living off-campus), 1967.
