From the Series:

Contains correspondence, manuscripts, receipts, and printed materials originally kept in files by Edward Otho Cresap Ord II.

Arranged alphabetically across subjects and chronologically within subjects. Every effort was made to preserve the original order of Ord's own filing system. Documents in this series date between 1879 and 1918.
