Books and poems by author Patricia Hubbell. The collection contains more than a dozen of Hubbell's works, as well as correspondence, notes, manuscrips, and dummies produced during her career.

The collection consists of an almost complete set of the 1915 valuation series of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad done by the railroad for the Interstate Commerce Committee to account for its right-of-way and the property it owned throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, eastern New York and New York City, and Rhode Island. The valuation maps give important historical information about the property purchased by the railroad, some from as early as the 1830s. Access to the maps can be found in the UConn Library digital repository at http://archives.lib.uconn.edu/islandora/object/20002%3AMSS19980378
