The collection consists primarily of correspondence, financial papers, clippings, and photographs. The correspondence documents
the written communication of the Mdivani siblings, spouses, and other relatives, as well as friends and acquaintances, and
focuses on family, health, and social life, among other topics. The financial papers in the collection consist of legal documents
about the estates of the deceased, communication with attorneys, banks, and retailers, inventories of assets, and receipts
from large purchases. The clippings, which date largely from the 1930s, mainly cover weddings, divorces, and deaths in the
Mdivani family, as well as their social lives, hobbies, and gossip surrounding their relationships. Photographs document the
lives of all five Mdivani siblings and their many spouses and include images of childhood and family life, weddings, social
events, travels, residences, hobbies, personal belongings, recreation, and the military career of General Zakhari Mdivani.
The collection also includes the diaries of Dennis Conan Doyle and Anthony Harwood, scrapbooks, genealogy, and artifacts,
such as Conan Doyle's racing trophy.
