The Chellis Glendinning 2022 accretion consists of Glendinning's correspondence, writings, newspaper clippings, A/V materials, and photographs from 2010-2020.

The correspondence series includes letters, emails, and mailings from friends, readers, and institutions. Primary correspondents, who largely communicated with Glendinning via email, are sorted alphabetically by surname. Readers' letters are presented in their original order; letters from Peter Quince, whose correspondence Glendinning noted was very important to her, are separated from other readers' letters. The "Letters from Bolivia" series consists of emails Glendinning periodically sent en masse to friends to update them about her life in Bolivia. The "Erroneous assumptions…" series consists of emails about the 2019 Bolivian elections.

The Works series consists of manuscripts, scripts, research, ephemera, and interviews related to Glendinning's writings, readings, and performances across mediums. Of note are the numerous subject research files for her most recent book, In the Company of Rebels. Each subject research file contains research, interviews, and correspondence with an activist profiled in Rebels.

The Publicity series comprises media coverage and publicity for Glendinning's books and other works.

The bulk of the Clippings series is related to political news in Bolivia.

The Personal series largely consists of photographs of Glendinning and her friends and colleagues in Bolivia, New Mexico, and Vermont. Also included are documents related to her successful efforts to become a citizen of Bolivia.

Finally, the A/V materials series contains CDs and DVDs with recordings and backups of Glendinning's works and personal activities.
