Women in mining and numerous issues related to women miners are covered in the records; also, subject files on strikes, lawsuits, and organizations including the United Mine Workers of America, the Rural Coalition, Southern Appalachian Leadership Training, and Coalition of Labor Union Women. Significant amounts of information about CEP staff members and regional coal mining women's support groups are also included.

On Feb. 6, 1990, Madeline Rogero, executive director, and Shirley Harkins, staff member, transferred the bulk of the CEP records to the archives on behalf of the CEP board of directors. On Jan. 8, 1992, Cosby Totten of the CEP board of directors transferred additional materials to the archives.
