Include twenty-one notebooks kept by William Roane Aylett while a student at the University of Virginia, 1850-1854, together with nineteen speeches delivered to various student societies and an essay on University life.

Also include two notebooks kept by William's son Philip at the Virginia Military Institute, 1884-1888; an undated notebook on mesozoic flora, perhaps kept by Professor W.M. Fontaine at the University of Virginia, 1879- 1910; three letters to Fontaine; and a series of clippings and comments on antebellum politics. Correspondents include Lester F. Ward of the United States Geological Survey and President W.W. Smith of Randolph-Macon College.
