Tapes 68 - 76 are interviews with other academics, or are notes for various papers written by Dr. Elmendorf.

Tapes 80 - 87 were recorded at the Interamerican Commission of Women - Office of American States and the Interamerican Indian Institute (INI) Conference in Guatemala City in 1973. Tapes 88 - 92 were recorded at the Special Seminar on Women and Science in the American Continent held in Mexico City in 1973 and sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Sessions from two separate days recorded on several tapes (one set of labels is written in pencil and one set in green ink).
