There is correspondence with publishers, academic colleagues, scholarly journals, astronomical societies, and directors of observatories, including ones at Harvard (Harlow Shapley) and the University of Arizona, as well as some personal correspondence. The collection also contains reports by Dugan to members of Commission 27 (Commission des Etoiles Variables) of the International Astronomical Union.
