Wall's lengthy manuscripts for two books entitled, "Aspects of Italian Civilisation" and "The Closed Circle" are preserved in his papers. About 30 photographs are also found in this collection. Rounding out the collection is a wide array of printed materials by Wall, dated 1931 to 1981, on Catholic topics.
