This 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. 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. 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.

A collection of forty-two lists of prisoners held in the Staffordshire County gaol (jail) from March 1661 to July 1689. Each document was carefully folded into a small, tight packet and uniformly endorsed with the date, indicating a consistent and intentional filing system. The collection is arranged into six bundles with the dates 1661 to 1665, 1666 to 1669, 1670 to 1674, 1675 to 1679, 1680 to 1684, and 1685 to 1689. Prisoners on these lists were awaiting trial in the Oxford Assize courts; these lists were prepared by gaolers for clerks of the court and served a function in triggering action for the Oxford Assize courts. The prisoners were being held pending trial for numerous crimes, including theft, murder, sexual assault, mariticide, infanticide, witchcraft, bigamy, arson, and illegal religious assembly; women feature with surprising frequency, both on the charge-sheet and as victims. The collection does contain graphic descriptions of violent crimes such as sexual assault, murder, and infanticide.
