The collection contains 58 pieces, including correspondence, diaries, documents, ephemera, essays, journals, legal documents, manuscripts, and reports, which were collected by O'Neil while working for the Works Progress Administration. The great majority of these materials are typescript copies. This collection focuses on Mormon history, from its earliest days through the 1930s. Every aspect of Mormon religion, daily life and cultural expression is explored, including pieces of Mormon poetry and items on the history of Mormon theater. Of particular interest are those items that portray the relationship Mormon settlers had with their Native American neighbors. Subjects addressed within the collection include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Federal Writers Project, the Historical Records Survey, Native Americans in Utah, the Mormon Church, Mormon pioneers, Mormon poetry, Mormon social life and customs, Mormon theater, the history of Ogden (Utah), the Works Progress Administration, Utah history, Jedediah Strong Smith (1799-1831), Joseph Smith (1805-1844), Charles L. Walker (1832-1904), and Brigham Young (1801-1877). Also included are typescript copies of works by John Alexander Devan (1851-1935), Esias Edwards (1812-1897), Emma Seegmiller Higbee, Maurice L.
