The furniture templates include patterns for the chairs Liberti made for the Maryland State House and for the White House, a chair for the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and for a Queen Anne style lowboy, as well as other templates. The financial records, listing expenses and income, are from the 1930s and 1970s. Customer correspondence includes orders and notes of appreciation for work done. A very few rough sketches of furniture are included in the collection, as is a trade card of Henry S. Shryock, a 19th century Baltimore cabinetmaker.
