The Artwork series is arranged alphabetically and contains exhibition catalogs, article clippings, fliers, publications, and brochures. For the most part, there are two groupings for each of these categories, one that revolves around Arthur Rozaire and the other which mentions fellow artists. The exhibition catalogs span from 1919-1921. Rozaire's works were showcased at both the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in Canada and the Museum of History, Science and Art in Los Angeles. The fliers, brochures, and publications publicize Rozaire's upcoming exhibitions. There is a large gap in the time span among the Rozaire clippings. Most of the clippings are from 1908-1922 when Rozaire was alive. Margaret Rozaire saved these clippings and her grandson, Charles, fashioned a scrapbook out of them. The next group of clippings was collected by Charles and range from 1988-1998. The focus of these clippings was articles that mentioned his grandfather and any exhibitions in which his art was to be displayed. The items relating to Butterfield & Butterfield include a contract that Charles Rozaire signed with the auctioneer house to sell some of his grandfather's paintings, receipts, and sell notices when items sold. The Genealogy series is arranged alphabetically and includes article clippings from newspapers and other publications mentioning family members, the diary of Jerome Caldwell, genealogical charts and tables revolving around the family's history. There is also an autograph book kept by Clara Caldwell dated 1887, certificates for Jerome Caldwell to teach first and second grade in the 1870s, funeral programs, financial records, and a location notice from various Caldwell and Rozaire family members.
