Series includes correspondence arranged in three groupings: personal correspondence; Hungarian correspondence; and memorabilia. Files contain, primarily, incoming correspondence with a few copies/drafts of letters from Dora de Pédery-Hunt to friends. Correspondents include Pearl McCarthy and her husband Colin Sabiston, Art Price, Jean Sutherland Boggs, Hamilton Southam, Rita Letendre, Kosso Eloul, Gerald Tooke, Elizabeth Holbrook, Walter Herbert, Pauline McGibbon and Rebecca Sisler. Hungarian correspondence comprises a large number of Christmas greetings. Several letters relate to family members in Europe and their emigration from Hungary. Memorabilia includes the Degree of Doctor of Letters, conferred upon the artist by York University, in 1983, together with congratulatory letters. Arranged chronologically within the three sub-series.

Series also includes related materials from another accrual arranged in four groupings: correspondence - business and personal; awards and certificates; parties; and other memorabilia. Correspondence consists of letters, greeting cards, postcards, and invitations that document de Pédery-Hunt's personal life and professional activities, including her role in the 1st International Exhibition of Medalic Arts. Certificates, diplomas, and correspondence and other records relate to her appointment to the Order of Canada and other honours bestowed by such organizations as the Toronto Arts Awards Foundation, Canadian Portrait Society, and Canadian Numismatic Association. Other certificates acknowledge de Pédery-Hunt's membership, contributions, or participation in multiple organizations. Parties consists of files with menus, recipes, lists of invitees and other details for parties and events either hosted or attended by de Pédery-Hunt. Her participation in the Toronto arts scene and Hungarian community is documented in these files. Other memorabilia pertains to a file of unidentified photographs.

Volume 23 contains personal correspondence from Major T.S. Chutter and his wife Clover, who assisted de Pédery-Hunt with her immigration to Canada, and from other members of his family.
