Correspondence, legal papers, travel writings and ephemera, drawings, sheet music, stamps, foreign currency, journals, photographs, glass negatives, and slides, dating from 1816-1989, from the Blackwelder, Del Mar, and MacCoy families, who were connected by marriage.

Many of the books were written by Betsy’s family members.
