The Étienne and Ghislaine Charlier collection is comprised of letters, political treatises, and printed matter, all useful for a study of the Haitian left in Haiti and abroad. There is very little in the way of the biographical or personal, especially for Étienne, and the majority of the collection's letters are incoming to Rey Charlier. Despite this, the collection still offers a sense of the Charliers' political thinking and development, particularly through four documents written by Étienne Charlier. These are
Aperçu sur la formation historique de la nation haïtienne; the 1947 one year anniversary report of the Parti Socialiste Populaire, "Fascisme et Nazisme ou Socialisme Scientifique"; and a copy of the Comité Central du Parti Communiste Haïtien's
Analyse Schematique, 1932-1934, co-written with Jacques Roumain.
