The Julie Goodrich papers measure 12.5 linear inches and date from 1948 to 1977. Most of the papers date from 1970 to 1974, when Goodrich was in high school. They are organized into six series: Scrapbooks, Personal, Photographs, Publicity, Family papers, and Iowa girls' sports. The papers document Goodrich's involvement with girls' sports in Iowa in the early 1970s.

The Scrapbooks series (1969-1974) contains the nine scrapbooks that Goodrich kept while she was in junior high and high school, which form the bulk of the collection. Two of the scrapbooks were preserved in their original state. The other seven were photocopied and then disbound. The items removed from these scrapbooks were then arranged into series. In her scrapbooks she organized newspaper clippings, press releases, photographs, sports records and statistics, and correspondence relating primarily to her athletic activities. The photocopied scrapbooks dated 1970-1971 and 1971-1972 are in their original covers, which are examples of common designs of the early 1970s. Goodrich kept two scrapbooks during her senior year, 1973-1974, both concerned with sports.

The Personal series (1970-1974) contains the awards, correspondence, and memorabilia removed from the scrapbooks.

The Photographs series (1970-1974) contains the photographs removed from the scrapbooks. Most of these date from 1973 and 1974.

The Publicity series (1970-1974) contains the promotional and statistical material related to the sports events in which Goodrich participated. In this subseries is one 16mm film from Wolper/NBA Films that lasts several minutes and shows Goodrich playing basketball at the 1973 State Tournament.

The Family papers series (1948) contains one memory book that Goodrich's mother kept during her last year in high school in Linden, Iowa.

The Iowa girls sports series (1967-1977) contains all the programs and statistical booklets that Goodrich collected concerning games she did not participate in as an athlete.
