Series consists of a complete draft of the report entitled: Battered and Blamed: A Report on Wife Assault from the Perspective of Battered Women, co-authored by the Women's Research Centre and the Vancouver Transition House in November 1980. The report is based on a combination of case studies and surveys. At Vancouver Transition House and Munroe House, a second-stage housing facility and subsidiary of the YWCA, a Christian-based organization that provided financial resources and administrative support to Munroe House, women were interviewed individually and asked to fill out questionnaires on themselves, their spouses, and their children to construct a profile of battered women and their experiences. Transcripts of the women's responses were recorded in writing and included as a permanent record. In addition, interviews were conducted over the telephone and in person. The study's goal was to gather information on domestic violence from the perspective of women. However, the Women's Research Centre also looked at how women's shelters assisted women once they reached a transition house by conducting interviews with the staff members who ran them.
Additionally, the Women's Research Centre examined the responses of various levels of Government, Social Services, private-practice physicians, hospitals, out-patient units, school programs, clinical nurses, community care teams, obstetrical nurses, pre-natal teachers, and clinical psychologists to the issue of domestic violence and children. Furthermore, the report examined the circumstances behind domestic violence, the consequences of this abuse, and how best to deal with it. Finally, it concluded by offering a summary of the report, a conclusion of the findings, and future recommendations.

This correspondence provides great insight into both Elliot and Beth’s understanding of the world before and during the war and gives a special insight into their personal lives as they began life together. Both Elliot and Beth describe their surroundings in incredible detail and often write with personal styles that show their emotional state.
Beginning in 1954, the correspondence provides a background for the mass migration of UNC faculty members, Weisgarber included in 1959/60, to UBC.

It contains letters back and forth from Japan starting in 1965. The correspondence contains personal details about Elliot that were not previously made public that are central to understanding the music he wrote after 1966.

For the remainder of the 1960s and into the 1970s Weisgarber continued his cultural visits to Japan and Hong Kong clearly becoming an authority on Shakuhachi music with many students and composers requesting his advice. Alongside his interest in Japan, Weisgarber’s correspondence details the normal operations of his professorship at UBC in addition to personal correspondence between his wife Betty and daughter Karen. Upon retirement from the UBC faculty in 1984, the correspondence shifts to more informal back-and-forth with friends and relatives in addition to letters relating to Weisgarber’s composition work. He remained quite active as a composer in retirement and traveled frequently to different festivals or performances that were featuring his compositions. Another major undertaking in his retired years, beginning in the mid-1990s, was authoring a book on Italian-American musician and composer Aurelio Giorni.
