The Violet Greiner papers date from 1960 to 1999 and measure 3 linear inches.  The papers are arranged in three series: Writings, Speeches, and Greiner Family.

The Writings series consists primarily of copies of Greiner's columns in the Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative News and a few of her articles from other publications.  Correspondence between Greiner and her readers and publishers and honorary awards for her writings complete this series.

The Speeches series contains the notes and scripts regarding Greiner's many "Apron Talks" given to a variety of organizations across Iowa from the 1960s to the 1990s.  This series includes printed programs as well as correspondence regarding arrangements for the talks.

The Greiner Family series contains biographical information and other materials concerning Greiner family history.  It also includes photographs and other publicity from Violet and Lyman Greiner's 1963 trip to India as part of a farmer exchange program.
