The Bapsi Sidhwa papers contain materials related to Bapsi’s writing, such as manuscripts, drafts, and contracts and correspondence with the publishers of her several books. Also contained in the collection are Bapsi’s essays, articles, reviews, and lecture notes from speaking events. Many of Bapsi's published books, often with personal commentary and notes written in, can also be found in the collection. A large portion of the papers are devoted to the press surrounding Bapsi’s work--including reviews, articles, and interviews from America, the United Kingdom, India, and Pakistan. Lastly, a section of the collection contains materials related to Bapsi’s family life, including correspondence, newspaper clippings, and photographs.

The materials are in good condition and range in date from 1943 to 2018. Researchers interested in Women’s Issues, the Indian Partition, Bapsi’s relationships with family, friends, and acquaintances, and particularly the process of writing Bapsi’s novels, will find this collection enlightening.
