Manuscripts
The papers are arranged in three series: Family History, Hollenbeck Ebell Club and LA Women's Club and Photographs. Within the Family History series, the items are arranged by manuscripts, correspondence and ephemera. The items are filed alphabetically by name or subject within those subdivisions. Within the Hollenbeck Ebell Club and LA Transit Women's Club series the papers are also arranged first by creator name, in this case Cynthia Lisetta Vose or Nellie Stearns McCormick, and then by manuscripts, correspondence and ephemera under that subseries. The items are then filed chronologically within the subdivisions of manuscripts, correspondence and ephemera. The last series of the papers is photographs. The items within this series are arranged alphabetically by name or subject. The Vose Stearns McCormick Family Papers contains personal papers in the form of manuscripts, correspondence, ephemera material and photographs that document the activities of the family members of the Vose, Stearns and McCormick family lines. The family's activities documented within this set of papers range from 1834 to 1949. Limited documentation exists of the family's beginning in Stoughton, Massachusetts and their move west and settlement in Lake County, Illinois.
