Ed Gomes was an active part of Bridgeport life starting in his role as union representative for the United Steelworkers of America. He would go on to serve on the Bridgeport City Council from 1983-1989 and then again from 1999-2005, followed by representing District 23 in the Connecticut State Senate from 2005-2013 and from 2015-2019. This collection's contents primarily contain material that was kept by Senator Gomes, but not specifically generated by him. As such, there are very few manuscript documents featuring his handwriting. However, the material collected demonstrates not only the arc of his career as a politician and public servant, but also his interests and concerns in those roles and as a private individual.

The papers form part of the Contemporary Medical Care and Health Policy Collection.

Also included is documentation of Tigerman's many unbuilt and conceptual works, such as the Urban Matrix (1967-1968), Kingdom of Atlantis (1976-1982), and several "Architoons"—satirical architectural drawings created by Tigerman in the 1980s.
