The collection consists of biographical information, genealogy, correspondence, writings, artwork, scrapbooks, financial papers,
printed material and photographs. Much of the correspondence is between Sewell and Mary Brumby and from their friends, especially
their friends in Japan. The Hart family correspondence revolves around Mary Elmira Bullard Hart, with letters from her husband
William Thomas Hart, and their children Louise Hart Hunt (1911-1987), Mary Hart, and William Bullard Hart (1918-1985). There
is also correspondence of Marianne Brumby, Mira Lee "Candle" Brumby, Sewell Robeson Brumby, the Bullard family, the Blackmar
family and the Pittman family. John Ray (1792-1868) was a lawyer and teacher in Newnan, Georgia. The connection between the
Ray/ Barker families and the Brumby/Hart families is unclear. Genealogy research done by Sewell Brumby concerns the Brumby,
Hart, Sewell and Pittman extended families and includes research correspondence with family members. Writings are by various
family members, especially the poetry of Louise Hart Hunt and family cookbooks and recipes used for Mary Brumby's publication.
Several Blackmar family scrapbooks are included. Financial papers include estate papers of Mary Blackmar Bullard and Mary
Elmira Hart with personal property inventories. There is also a household inventory of Sewell Brumby's house for insurance
purposes, and information on loans and donations of Japanese items to museums. There are numerous photographs of family, houses
and other subjects.
