Series I, BIOGRAPHICAL, 1972-2015 (#1.1-4.12, SD.1) consists of information about Chicago's life, background, and achievements.

Institutions and organizations from across the United States are represented among the interviewers and degree- or award-granting organizations, such as Duke University, the Smithsonian, the Society for the Psychology of Women of the American Psychological Association, the University of California at Los Angeles, and many more. Of special interest is documentation commemorating a "Judy Chicago Day" in two cities: Louisville, Kentucky, and Chicago's adoptive hometown of Belen, New Mexico.
