The written biography titled, "Dream Handles: the life of Charlotte Macy," is included in the collection. Macy and her close friend Dorothy Barratt were the first pastors of Silverton (Oregon) Friends Church. Not only did they organize the meetings and study groups for the young church in 1957, the two women helped build the physical structure itself.

The collection also includes anecdotal documents memorializing Charlotte Macy and Dorothy Barratt.
