The collection spans the dates 1913-1972 and primarily consists of materials accumulated by Holland during his eight years in the Florida Senate and his twenty-four years in the U.S. Senate. In addition, there are numerous personal, business, and legal files covering almost sixty years of his life. The majority of the collection is comprised of papers, although it also contains photographs, memorabilia, and manuscript material.

As with all political collections of significant size, the materials cover a wide range of subjects. Of particular interest are those events and issues that have shaped the nation and world, including World War II, organized labor, the Vietnam War, the spread of communism, the civil rights movement, the space race, and the Cold War. Prominent topics related to Florida include the citrus industry, the Everglades National Park, flood control, the Cross Florida Barge Canal, wartime defense, tidelands, and Cuba.
