The Caldwell Family Collection is comprised of one series: Photographs, circa 1842-1954. This series is made up of photographs of family members, principally William Henry Caldwell, and his daughter Sarah Caldwell.

This collection consists of two boxes. Box 1 contains original autograph correspondence between Norman Carr and his family and friends, separated into letters written by Norman Carr and letters written to him. Typed transcriptions were made only for letters dated 1864-1865, the years when Norman Carr served on the Paw Paw, as these are the most historically significant letters in the collection. Box 1 also contains historical and printed materials relating to the U.S.S. Paw Paw, data on its commanding officers, and its role in the western campaign of the Civil War. Box 2 is a large flat box containing a framed photograph of the Paw Paw with Norman Carr on deck, as well as miscellaneous ephemera and memorabilia items relating to Carr and his service in the war. Photocopies have been made for all items in Box 2, as well as for all original Norman Carr correspondence in Box 1, to aid in the handling and viewing of these items.

Letters, manuscripts, printed ephemera and photoreproductions collected by Saffron. The collection reflects Dr. Saffron's two avocations: book collecting and the history of medicine.

In addition, there is an autograph signed manuscript by John Martyn titled "To the Author of the Grubstreet Journal" 1731-32; letters published in "The Grub-Street Journal" concerning Richard Bentley's edition of Milton; a letter from Stephen Phillips to [Sir Sidney Colvin]; and poetry of Emily Winthrop Miles

The collection is comprised mainly of black and white professional photographs of masks, figures, weapons, utensils, musical instruments, and other objects from Africa and Oceania. There is also a smaller amount of Northwest American Indian art. The objects were photographed individually or in small groups against a plain background. The photos are in their original order, organized by region and then by specific location, ethnic or cultural group, and/or type of artifact. A few photos have individual labels, but most are labeled only with a handwritten number on the backing paper. There is no corresponding guide to the numbering system. Wingert was an avid photographer and the photos were likely taken by him, but are not signed. The collection also contains articles and book drafts by Wingert, copies of published articles and books by Wingert and others, original pen and ink illustrations of objects, additional photographs and negatives that do not seem to be part of the photo file, and small amounts of correspondence and other documents.
