Materials in this collection are arranged chronologically in each series to compliment access points from the card catalog. Within each series, the material has been arranged chronologically within categories such as correspondence or receipts. oversize items are listed with the series to which they relate.
Almost all printed material has been removed to the printed book collections. A list of printed items removed is in "Correspondence concerning the collection". Some of these items may have been deaccessioned. In addition, photographs donated with the collection have been removed to the Society's museum.

The Gilman Family of Hartford, whose papers are collected here, are descended from Richard Gilman, a freeman in Hartford in 1672, who bought land in East Hartford in 1676. He married Elizabeth Adkins. The line is traced through Solomon (1676-1732), Josiah (1719-1796), Levi(?), and Oliver (1766-1843). The collection starts at this level with papers of Phineas Shepard (1766-1840) and his wife, Mary Webster (1772-1848). Their daughter, Eliza (1800-1884), married Julius (1799-1886), son of Oliver Gilman and Chloe Bemont (1767-1808).
