The papers consist of correspondence, a genealogical chart, memoirs, a newsletter, two photographic prints and a copy of a sketch. The correspondence includes letters between family members, giving information about family events as well as letters between the donors and the library regarding the collections. The genealogical chart is a two page photostatic copy of a Huger family record, c. 1585-c. 1954. The memoirs consist of a photostatic copy of Mary Esther Huger's memoirs (the original being located in the Habersham-Elliott papers, Southern Historical Collection, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), recounting her childhood and descriptions of some of her neighbors and their homes; a separate section is devoted to the Prioleau family. They also include a typed copy of a shortened version of her memoirs and a photostatic copy of typed extracts from the memoirs of Elizabeth Pinckney Huger, in which she tells of the family's move to Pendleton after her mother's death, her caretaking of her sisters, Mary and Harriet, and, later, of the children of her sister Harriet. The newsletter is issue 12 (November 1971) of the Foundation for Historic Restoration in the Pendleton Area, which includes an article by Mary Stevenson entitled "Woodburn's Neighbors", that contains some information about the Huger family. The two photographic prints are of Mary Esther Huger (Mrs. Joseph Alston Huger), with her granddaughter, Esther Huger Elliott, taken from the print of an 1880 photograph from a daguerreotype of Col. Francis Kinloch Huger. The sketch is of "Long House", the Huger home in Pendleton, SC.

20 items, including two photographs.
