The Dorothy Reifel Collection on J. Ottis Adams contains primary source documents and research files about the life and times of Indiana artist J. Ottis Adams, collected by Dorothy Reifel.

The Marie Webster Study Collection contains both professional and personal materials that document Webster's career as a quilt designer. A majority of the items in the collection date between 1911 and the 1920s, with a few earlier items like photographs and a scrapbook that documents her later life. Many of the quilt patterns and templates in the collection connect to finished pieces found in the museum's permanent collection.
