The collection consists primarily of correspondence to and from Chambers. As a young man he exchanged with his father opinions and information about political and personal events. A September 14, 1796, letter from Benjamin Franklin Bache informed Joseph Chambers of his son's disposition and progress as a printer's apprentice. In addition, there is an 1851 letter to Chambers' grandson, a note to Salmon P. Chase requesting employment for his grandson, an undated biographical sketch of Chambers, a copy of his 1862 will, and miscellaneous newspaper clippings. Several of the early letters were transcribed and typed. There is also a typescript concerning an address delivered by Chambers when President James Monroe visited Zanesville in 1817.
