The series contains papers relating to Irene Spry's studies at Cambridge and Bryn Mawr College, and her teaching career at the University of Toronto. The Cambridge files show her involvement in the labour club and debating society and efforts to win a scholarship for graduate work, including letters of reference from Marjorie Tappan. The Bryn Mawr material reveals the practical nature of her courses in industrial relations and social research. Files for her major research project on "Married Women in Industry" contain evidence of early use of quantitative research methodology through the analysis of census data, questionnaires for factory managers, and interviews with working women. They include correspondence with Prof. Susan Kingsbury, research material, tables, and manuscripts of this unpublished study. The University of Toronto files include material relating to her appointment as Lecturer, promotion to Assistant Professor, and resignation in 1938, and reveal that Prof. E. J. Urwick was anxious to recruit her for his staff. In addition, there is correspondence and notes from her colleagues and material on courses in economics and history in the 1930s
