The Davies Family Papers document Thomas Frederick Davies (1793-1865) and his family. Davies was a Congregational clergyman and editor of religious magazines who lived in the Westport area and in New Haven, CT. The Davies Family Papers are closely related to the Adams Family Papers also held at the repository. Davies' daughter Mary Sanford Davies married Ebenezer Banks Adams, Sr. in 1837 and the families remained in close touch by correspondence.

The Green's Farms Congregational Church Records contain original documentation that traces the history of the church, and in early days, local governance in the Westport area.

The Saugatuck Congregational Church Records contain original documentation tracing the history of the church from the time of its establishment in 1832.

This collection documents the life and work of journalist and writer Sigrid Schultz. Among the earliest women to hold a high position in international journalism, Schultz was appointed Central European Bureau Chief in the Chicago Tribune's Berlin office in late 1925. She reported for the Tribune and the Mutual Broadcasting Service until her return to the U.S. in 1941. Schultz gave early warning about the rise of the National Socialist party in Germany, cultivating connections with Nazi leaders that enabled her to do in-depth reporting.

The Westport Town Records Collection contains town records that have been donated to or gathered by the Westport Museum of History and Culture. These are primarily records generated by or related to official town bodies.
