Present are his essays and speeches on subjects such as birds, medicine, the history of medicine, and the history of Circleville, Ohio, particularly concerning the region's American Indians, in the form of manuscripts, typescripts, and printed ephemera. Business papers include correspondence and documents relating to the Circleville Electric Light and Power Company, organized by Howard Jones in 1891. Also present is material concerning the production and distribution of the Jones family's publication Illustrations of the nests and eggs of birds of Ohio (1879-1886), which featured texts by Howard Jones and orinthological drawings by Genevieve E.

Series V. contains printed material left after distribution of the publication, which was printed in Cincinnati by Krebs Lithographing Co. (plates) and Robert Clarke & Co. (texts). A small group of papers for Nelson Jones contains some of his writings, press clippings, and biographical sketches of family members including his wife Virginia and daughter Genevieve, as well as two letters discussing the medical treatment of President James A. Garfield shortly before his death. A folder of material for Howard Jones's maternal grandparents Anson and Amy Beckwith Smith contains letters to them in New London, Connecticut, from their two sons, John Robertson Smith and Hamilton Lanphere Smith. Also in the collection are two short runs of amateur periodicals published in Circleville, Ohio.
