Biographical material consists of an award, blank stationery, a guest book for Huse's memorial exhibtion, travel mementos, and a writing concerning serigraphy. Also found is a letter confirming an art school appointment for Huse's father Frank and a list of birth dates of members of the Huse family.
Huse's professional correspondence is with the Clifford Bayard, Howard Cook, the Ford Motor Company, Hartford Art School, Doris Meltzer, Tricker Galleries, and the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project. Personal correspondence is with her husband, Robert Barstow.
Financial records includes receipts of the sale of Huse's works at the Association Pour le Progres Intellectuel et Artistique de la Wallonie, Kunsthandel Leffelaar, and The Southern Vermont Artists, Inc..
Photographs and glass plate negatives depict Huse, her works of art, homes and studios, and of Huse family members. Of note are photos at the Springfield Studio featuring artist models and women, presumably during a painting class at the Springfield Art School. Extensive travel photos were taken in Europe, Mexico, and the United States.
Printed materials include clippings, exhibition announcements and catalogs concerning Huse's career. Travel postcards were assembled by Huse from the 1930s to the 1960s. These were used as source material for her paintings.
Five sketchbooks contain ink drawings, paint, pencil, and watercolor sketches depicting urban streets in Massachusetts, rural New England scenes, circus scenes, buildings, and locales in Maine and Nova Scotia.
