The bulk of the collection consists of family correspondence, including letters, dated 1863-1864, written by Sturgis' brother, Appleton, while serving in the Union army, and early writings from Sturgis' college years. There are also sketchbooks of landscape and architectural drawings from European trips taken by Sturgis, dated 1858-1883, as well as a small number of family photographs.

The archives of Benjamin Irving Rouse, accumulated during his time at Yale.

Collection consists of black & white or sepia photographs, 10 x 14 in. or smaller, of Classical sculpture, architecture, and sites. These photographs were removed from the collection because of questionable worth or fragility. Most of the photographs are mounted, but folders of unmounted photographs are also included. Most of the photographs have been identified, and are marked on the backs. This identification was done recently. Some information is on Post-It notes attached to the photograph. The views of archaeological sites usually contain groups of archaeologists, visitors or local guides, and would date the photos to the end of the 19th century. Some of the photographs, particularly those of sculpture, are standard views from photo archives, but many are original photos and provide views of sites that are no longer available.

The letters contain news about teaching, discussions of spiritual and intellectual concerns, and remarks about places visited.
