The Gahan Family papers span the period from 1905 through 2003 and consists of publications in the field of entomology, employment records, correspondence, photographs, certificates and awards, and biographical information relating to the Gahan family. The bulk of the collection is a nearly complete set of 120 scientific publications and reprints of articles by Arthur B. Gahan, dating from 1906 to 1952 and indexed by the author. Also included are notes, correspondence, and documentation relating to the establishment of the Gahan Scholarship Fund in 1981. Winifred Gahan's papers deal more with her activities on a local level, specifically her involvement in Prince George's County civic organizations. Winifred E. Gahan is represented in the collection by a commemorative book of letters assembled by her co-workers upon her retirement from the university in 1953, entitled "Our Miss Gahan."
