- This collection consists of five groups of manuscript materials: Personal correspondence, Business correspondence, Manuscripts, Records, and Miscellany.
- Excepting a folder of interesting letters to Louis Horst from his mother, ca. 1928-29, the personal correspondence consists primarily of friendly, social, and congratulatory items, i.e., telegrams, postcards, birthday cards, and Christmas cards, from Martha Graham, Gertrude Lippincott, Doris Rudko, Arthur Todd, Walter Sorell, George Beiswanger, Lucia Dlugoszewski, Louise Mattlage, Betty Horst, and Horst's sister, May.
- The business correspondence is almost exclusively concerned with Horst's journal, Dance observer. Most manuscripts in the collection are edited articles for Dance observer.
- Also contains two notebooks, one kept by Louis Horst, the other kept perhaps by Gertrude Lippincott, which are concerned with Mr. Horst's theories in dance forms and composition.
