The collection is divided into several series. Frances D. Huntington's Personal Papers include her personal correspondence with friends, immediate family, and more distant relatives. The "Serbian correspondence" with Mio's relatives in Yugoslavia, is written or typed in both English and Serbian. Of special interest here is her letter to Zorica, dated July 29, 1967, in which Frances discusses the 1967 Detroit Race Riots and resulting damages, as well as what she believed were the contributing factors. Additional biographical materials, family photographs, and materials document her hobbies and social interests. Her Professional Papers, consist mostly of the American Society for Quality Control, Inc.-Greater Detroit Section materials, 1953-1978, and the Society of Women Engineers Program Books for the national and local organizations, 1964-1965, 1972-1973. The Frances D. Huntington Co. business records, mostly business correspondence, 1952-1975, and undated, complete the Professional Papers series. The Family Papers are organized alphabetically by individual's names. Of interest here are the records relating to and of Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker and his sister, Mary S. (Hooker) Brainard, and her family, 1863-1986 (Scattered) and undated, concerning the large painting of the Battle of Lookout Mountain, which Hooker paid for and the family eventually donated to the related National Park.

Rudderrow, in World War II, 1943-1959; the love letters of her great-grandparent, Martha D. (Mygatt) Treadwell of New Milford (Conn.) and Henry R.
