Collection contains two notebooks (1857-1859) of Rockwell, an officer in the Civil War, and mining professor at Yale and M.I.T. The notebooks contain diagrams, drawings and detailed notes about mining operations in South Wales, England and other locations.

Three loose papers with more mining information were found inside one of the volumes.
