The Martha Eimen papers date from 1945 to 1995 and measure 2.5 linear inches. Two photograph albums, purchased in Egypt and Palestine, and artifacts (sandals purchased in Syria) 1945, reflect Eimen's time spent working as a nurse with the United Nations in Italy and the Middle East, 1945-1948. One album contains photographs, all taken by Eimen, of the people and working animals of Palestine, the interior and exterior architecture of Bethlehem and Jerusalem, and the nurses' living quarters at Nuselrat Camp in Palestine.

A second photograph album depicts a tour of Africa with co-workers, workers at a United Nations camp in the desert, a Greek hospital camp, nurses at the American University Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon, and tours of Damascus and Cairo. Several photographs portray a camp of tents where Eimen worked in the Sinai Desert. Others were taken on tours of Italy and France. Two loose photographs have been placed in a folder.

In a handwritten two-page autobiographical sketch, Eimen describes her educational background, discusses the album material, and explains her continuing education and work after 1948.
