The Katherine Mull Falvey Zastrow papers date from 1927 to 1995 and measure 12.5 linear inches. The papers are arranged in two series: Personal and Political.

The Personal series (1932-1995 and undated) consists of biographical information about Zastrow and her personal diaries from 1932 to 1995. Her diaries concern daily life and activities, with occasional references to politics and world events.

The Political series (1927, 1959-1991 and undated) consists of scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, and correspondence dealing with Zastrow's term in the legislature and her involvement in the Democratic party. Zastrow's political scrapbook contains photocopies of letters from several presidents, including John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, and letters from Hubert H. Humphrey, Adlai Stevenson, and other national and Iowa politicians. Also included is a photocopy of a letter Theodore Roosevelt wrote to her father, Andrew J. Mull.
