The Personal series deals with Jones' background and career at the University of Michigan Herbarium, from the 1920's until the late 1950's. Included are a variety of articles on lichen that she published, as well as miscellaneous correspondence relating to handweaving.

The Art Associations series is composed of the records of the Ann Arbor Art Association, the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, and the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters, along with single folders dealing with the Ann Arbor Winter Art Fair and the Free Arts Festival. Within the separate series, the researcher will find minutes, reports, and programs, along with sparse amounts of correspondence. Jones, at various times in her life, was on the Board of Directors of the Art Association, and served as registrar of the annual Ann Arbor Street Art Fair for over fifteen years. The records reflect these positions. Overall, however, there are many gaps, both chronologically and in volume that indicate these records are not complete. The Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters series, for example, consists solely of organizational material that does not relate to Mrs. Jones personally.
