In 1966, she published a biography of Sarah Dickey titled "Dauntless in Mississippi: The Life of Sarah A. Dickey." Griffith died in 1976. The Helen Griffith papers houses Griffith's college diary and scrapbook. The diary spans 1903-1910, but the bulk of the entries describe either her junior and senior years at Bryn Mawr (1903-1905) or her first year at Columbia University (1909). The diary offers a near-daily record of Bryn Mawr student life during the early twentieth century. The scrapbook depicts a broad overview of life on campus in the early twentieth century. Griffith collects a range of materials relating to administration, academics, and extracurricular activities. The scrapbook focuses on Griffith's college years (1901-1905) but also includes material through 1956, mostly documenting alumnae engagement and reunion events.
