This series contains only a small amount of materials, but includes a short autobiographical sketch, written by Werner shortly after coming to the United States, as well as lexicon and other articles describing Werner's work as an art historian.

One folder of correspondence contains primarily letters to libraries and publishers, in request of information on Werner's research interests. The second folder contains Undated "letters to the editor" written by Werner. There are also small amounts of correspondence scattered throughout the collection and filed under the subject of the correspondence. As can be noted, Werner often re-used the backs of letters received to take notes on various topics.

This series contains Werner's early belletristic writings, primarily poetry. Many of the English poems, as well as the prose writings, written between 1939 and 1940, describe the experiences of exile, internment in a British labor camp, as well as Werner's voyage and early days in the United States.
