The most extensive part of Holden Papers is the papers written and collected by Austin Wells Holden. They contain his articles, speeches, correspondence, and numerous newspaper clippings compiled by him in scrapbooks. Most of his correspondence and speeches concern historical subjects, especially the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War (particularly the death of Jane McCrea), Glens Falls, and the preparation and publication of his book, A History of the Town of Queensbury (1874). Of particular importance is his correspondence describing his service in the 22nd Regiment of New York Volunteers in the Union army during the Civil War. There are also family letters dating back to 1820, along with genealogical information on the following families: Atherton, Austin, Buell, Holden, McGregor, and Vanderwerker.
