The Alice C. Peterson Bavin papers date from 1901 to 1924. The collection spans 1/4 cubic feet, filling part of a box.

The Geography and Writing notebooks were from Peterson's early education, sometime after 1901, the copyright date of one of the notebooks.

The Classwork folders contain academic information from Peterson's time at Bethel Academy. There are notes from a biology class, a physics class, and some report cards on index cards.

The Graduation folder contains the class song of 1920, an issue of the Bethel Booster, a commencement program from 1920, and Russell Bavin's valedictorian address for the class of 1924.

The Photographs folder contains pictures of the inside of a decorated hall, possibly at Bethel.
