The Carey Bliss files comprise the bulk of the collection.

The correspondence covers his work as a curator, including a single thank you letter from Richard Nixon for the repair of the Nixon's family bible. The lecture files contain notes for a course that Carey Bliss taught at the University of Southern California on the history of books and printing. These notes include a sheet of papyrus in the folder for lectures three and four. The Rounce & Coffin Club files pertain to Carey Bliss's longstanding membership. The files contain meeting invitations and information on exhibitions prepared by the club, including the annual Western Books Exhibition.
