The collection consists of a small number of manuscripts by and about Gladstone, as well as photographs, engravings, prints and ephemera. The bulk of the collection is made up of letters by Gladstone, which deal mainly with British politics and business; there is also a small amount of personal letters by various other members of the Gladstone family. Other correspondents represented in the collection include: A.J.B Beresford Hope, Patrick William Campbell, Sir John Cowan, John Nielson Gladstone, Abraham Hayward, Henry and Catherine Holiday, Stafford Henry Northcote (Earl of Iddesleigh), George Cornewall Lewis, Henry William Primrose, Archibald Philip Primrose (Earl of Rosebery), and Robert Lowe (Viscount Sherbrooke).

The voluminous correspondence, notebooks, affidavits, eyewitness testimonies, and published pamphlets of the family of Jonathan D. Hale contain a wealth of previously unknown information about the Civil War in Tennessee and Kentucky, including the organization of Unionist communities; womens contributions to the war effort; guerrilla warfare; the fate of Unionists' slaves; Reconstruction in East Tennessee and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan; and complicated and bitter politics of veterans' affairs in the wake of the Civil War. The letters, orders, reports, and communications written during Hale's services with General George H. Thomas (1816-1870) is a unique resource for historians of Civil War civilian scouts and guides, a topic that remains largely unexplored.
