This collection includes a variety of materials. While most archival collections are grouped by subject, origin, or another unifying characteristic, this collection is unusual because it does not conform to that standard. These materials are gathered together somewhat arbitrarily. They do, however, often provide brief glimpses into the history of New England life through the lens of various individuals' papers.

This collection was created by Historic New England Library and Archives staff from manuscript materials not directly related to other Library and Archives collections. Some of the materials were acquired through individual donations, others were separated from existing collections, and others were acquired in conjunction with the family papers associated with Historic New England's many properties. Detailed acquisition information is available for individual items when possible.
This collection is arranged into two series: Series I. Historic New England properties and Series II. Individuals' and organizations' papers. Both series are arranged alphabetically by property or individual's last name.
Historic New England is committed to implementing reparative language description for existing collections and creating respectful and inclusive language description for new collections.
