The materials consist of photographs of Yale and New Haven, Connecticut, taken by Charles F. Baldwin while a student at Yale. The photographs document student life during the late 1880s and the blizzard of 1888.

The papers document the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century historiography of General George Armstrong Custer and the Little Big Horn Battle. The collection contains research material consisting of correspondence, notes, writings, photoprints and maps. There is some original nineteenth centry material related to Custer, in particular the correspondence of Edward Settle Godfrey, but most of the papers are reproductions of original primary material.

The papers consist of correspondence, reports, and papers on engineering. The largest portion concerns the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, of which Scott was an active member. Another large section is made up of Scott's administrative correspondence at Yale in the electrical engineering department (1911-1922). Also included are papers documenting Scott's employment at the Westinghouse Electrical and Manufacturing Company from 1888 to 1911 and includes correspondence, technical papers, and material for a biography of George Westinghouse. Pamphlets and other material issued by Engineers for Hoover (1928), and miscellaneous papers from the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor are also in the papers.
