The collection spans the years 1841-2001, though the majority of it dates between 1960 and 1990. Almost all of the materials dated before the 1950s are reproductions made at Hine's request for reference in his research and writing, and many of them concern the 19th century figures Edward Kern, John Russell Bartlett, Josiah Royce and Theodore Talbot. The collection is organized to preserve, whenever possible, Robert Hine's original order. This includes most of his original folder titles, the original order of folders, and the original order of some of the boxes. As such there are small portions of it that do not follow the rules of cataloging to the letter (as in ascending date orders, etc). The collection contains Hine's professional work as a historian of the American West and a writer, and includes research notes, photocopied manuscripts, newspaper clippings, interviews, correspondence, and other research related papers. As such, the original order of Hine's papers reflects his process of collecting and referencing them as he worked on various book projects. In some instances, his original folders provide insight into the kinds of questions or themes he was pursuing in the course of his work. Box 16, Folder 6, for example, relates to his work on California's colonies and communes and is titled "Family," reflecting his special interest in this aspect of communal life. Hine also revised the organization of these papers as he prepared them for donation to the Huntington Library in the late 1990s. Despite Hine's own curatorship, some of his papers remained unsorted and unorganized at the time of this collection's cataloging. Those have been organized by the cataloger to reflect, as much as possible, Hine's own organizational methods. To this end, the boxes of the collection are organized largely according to the book or other scholarly project for which Hine obtained them, with the exception of the boxes that house correspondence. Boxes 1-22 pertain to Hine's work on California's colonies and communes, and in particular the books California's Utopian Colonies (1973) and Community on the American Frontier: Separate but Not Alone (1985). Within this series, boxes 1-12 are an alphabetical subseries of the communes by name; boxes 13 and 14 are a subseries dedicated specifically to the Llano Commune; boxes 15-18 are a miscellaneous subseries organized largely by subject (i.e. Family in colonies and communes); boxes 19-22 are miscellaneous notes, citations, and bibliographic index cards. Boxes 23-26 pertain to Hine's research into John Russell Bartlett and the book Bartlett's West: Drawing the Mexican Boundary (1969); boxes 27-30 relate to his work on Josiah Royce and the book Josiah Royce: From Grass Valley to Harvard; boxes 31-33 relate to his work on Edward Kern and the book In the Shadow of Fremont: Edward Kern and the Art of American Exploration (1982); boxes 34-35 pertain to his research into Theodore Talbot and the book Soldiers in the West: Letters of Theodore Talbot During His Services in California, Mexico, and Oregon, 1845-53 (1972); box 36 relates to his memoir Second Sight (1993); boxes 37-39 contain miscellaneous research material, including chapter notes for California's Utopian Colonies, scholarly reviews of his books, and miscellaneous secondary scholarship; boxes 40-43 contain correspondence, largely with other historians but also notably with (then California governor) Ronald Reagan; boxes 44-47 contain bibliographic index cards; box 48 contains audio-visual material; box 49 contains ephemera; and lastly box 50 contains oversize material. There are a few things to note about the collection. First, it contains a number of oversize items housed in separate oversize folders. The items are marked by the presence of a "dummy folder" where they would have been filed, had they not been oversize. Many of the oversize items are duplications (photocopies, prints) of artwork done by John Russell Bartlett and Edward Kern, made while Hine was researching their artistic work in the West. This collection also contains a number of boxes in which the material is not sorted into numbered folders. These are the indexcard boxes (Boxes 19-22 and 44-47), which contain bibliographic records and the Miscellaneous Notes and Citations boxes, which contain half-sheet sized research notes, many regarding the secondary literature relevant to his book projects. In some respects, the kinds of notes contained in these boxes are similar to the notes Hine filed in folders in the grey upright boxes, and in some cases he made makeshift dividers to separate the notes into related groups. Lastly, it is important to note that Hine took many notes in Braille during the years he was blind. In some cases, Hine himself translated the Braille into English as he prepared the collection for donation to the Huntington Library; often, however, the Braille remained untranslated. The boxes relating to Hine's work on Colonies and Communes contain the majority of the Braille notes.

Many of these items include correspondence pertaining to that particular document. The financial and legal documents are in Spanish and English. Boxes 30-34 consist of ephemera, which are loosely organized by genre. Some of the ephemeral items include clippings, empty envelopes, greeting cards, invitations, illustrations, journals, magazines, printed matter, report cards, and telegrams. Box 35 consists of audio and visual materials, including compact discs relating to La Opinión's 75th anniversary. Box 36 includes 3-D objects, such as small commemorative items, plaques, and medals. In addition to the newspaper clippings found in Box 30, there are also newspapers in Boxes 43-45. These issues may or may not be complete. The bound newspaper volumes are restricted, due to their physical condition. There are two La Prensa volumes, which span from 1927 to 1938. There are 47 La Opinión volumes, which span from 1926 to 1983. There is also a volume from El Manana 1911-1913 and a volume of advertisers for the Metro Newspaper Service with the accompanying index. Please visit for digitized issues of La Opinión. There are currently 23,971 issues available from 1920s-2008. In Boxes 37-41 are twenty-three books, which are roughly organized by title. A few of these books are in fragile condition. They are mostly in Spanish. Box 42 consists of oversize ephemera, including awards, certificates, an autograph book, correspondence, empty envelopes, magazines, and printed matter. Photographs are found in Boxes 47-58. Box 47 consists of company photographs, including celebratory events, headshots, and proof sheets related to La Prensa and Opinión. The corresponding negatives to the proofs are housed separately. There are also some reproductions of photographs from the 1930s, which are from the Bill Mason Collection. Box 47 includes photographs of Ignacio E. Lozano, Jr., which are roughly organized chronologically. The majority of these images were shot in 1976 when Jr. was the United States Ambassador to El Salvador. Also in this box is a folder with personal family photographs. Boxes 48-54 consist of unsorted news photographs. These were taken by La Opinión photographer, Octavio Gomez in the 1970s and 1980s, mostly but not all unidentified. Subjects found in the news photographs include sports (professional and local), politicians, public demonstrations, buildings, people, car accidents, celebrities, crime scenes, natural disasters, law officials, and press conferences. These photographs may have been used for publication. Box 55 includes more miscellaneous photographs. Some of these photographs include captions and studio/credit information. They also appear to have been used for publication because of the mock-up details. The last three folders include miscellaneous headshots/portraits of celebrities, politicians, and writers. Box 56 includes printed matter and postcards that were possibly used for publication because of the mock-up details. The bulk of this box is images and printed matter from United Press International (UPI), including images of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and other significant historical events and people. Box 57 consists of two photo albums of La Opinión's 60th anniversary. Box 58 consists of oversize photographs.
