I am not a lawyer either but I think even if you adhere to the declaratory theory of law and take this waiver literally word for word

I hereby dedicate to the public all rights, including copyrights throughout the world, that I possess in this collection.

I have the feeling the lawyer who drafted this instrument of gift was a very competent one as in USA law the copyright of a collection or compilation does not affect the copyright of the works included in it.

17 U.S.C. § 103(b) The copyright in a compilation or derivative work extends only to the material contributed by the author of such work, as distinguished from the preexisting material employed in the work, and does not imply any exclusive right in the preexisting material. The copyright in such work is independent of, and does not affect or enlarge the scope, duration, ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the preexisting material.

Actually USA goverment works like the CIA World Factbook are public domain only inside USA. According to (S. REP. NO. 473, 94th Cong., 2d Sess. 56 (1976)) section 105 page 59

The prohibition on copyright protection for United States Govern­ment works is not intended to have any effect on protection of these works abroad. Works of the governments of most other countries are copyrighted. There are no valid policy reasons for denying such pro­tection to United States Government works in foreign countries, or for precluding the Government from making licenses for the use of its works abroad.

According to exhibit B [1] - The instrument of gift - she did not intend to relinquish her rights as there are specific conditions for reproduction of the works contained in the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.

Also explicit permission is given to the library to make copies of the work for security,preservation etc.
