Mary Andrews made and retained much audio-visual material. She collected published material from various organisations and appears to have recorded addresses at services and meetings she attended . She recorded hymns and other sacred music and interviews from radio programs and she owned a range of commercial recordings acquired either by purchase and gift. The quality of the tapes is unknown.
The audio records that have been retained consist of meetings of organisations in which Mary was active, and of addresses in the main areas of her interest including the ministry of women. Some of these supplement the printed records held in this collection.
Commercial material and material recorded from radio programs (thus governed by complex intellectual property provisions) has been destroyed.
Tapes of services (mainly Healing Ministry) at St Andrews Cathedral have been transferred to Moore College Library.
Tales of Verlag Evangelische Marienwesternschaff, Darmstadt-Eberstadt, (Basilea Schlink) Germany, mainly addressed by Basilea Schlink have been offered to Moore College Library.
The following have been retained.
- Addresses and interviews by Mary Andrews (various media organisations)
- General and Sydney Diocesan Synod debates manly on the ordination of women,
- Women's ordination services
- Proceedings of meetings of the organisations (especially women's organisations) with which Mary was associated.

A note relating to the item list: The tapes are not individually listed. An 'item" consists of a group of related tapes e.g. the tapes relating to an organisation. Some tapes have been used for more than one purpose. They have been placed with the group that describes most of the content.
