Consists almost exclusively of correspondence received by the Oberlin College Treasurer between the years 1867 and 1907. From the first financial officer appointed in 1833, until 1899, the Treasurer operated in the dual capacity of financial officer and "Corresponding Secretary" for the Board of Trustees. Because the Treasurer served in both roles the letters deal with a wide range of subjects, including financing the College and procuring operating funds, handling inquiries regarding admissions, bill collections and payment, scholarship payments, faculty loans, and other routine administrative matters. Subjects of wider interest include temperance, Congregationalism, fundraising and financial aid.

Consists of extensive correspondence, writings and talks, and miscellaneous personal papers documenting Taylor's career as a physicist. Well documented is Taylor's teaching career in the Oberlin College Department of Physics. Correspondence includes files of recommendation letters and correspondence with other physicists and scientific companies. His personal correspondence highlights his numerous private interests, including his views on temperance, religion and politics. His interest in inventor Elisha Gray (1835-1901) is evident in the unpublished manuscript, "The Untold Story of the Telephone." Notable correspondents include: Robert Andrews Millikan (1868-1953); Arthur F. Compton (1892-1962); Carl Ellis Howe (1898-1968); and Charles Nelson Cole (1871-1945). Letters inquiring about Elisha Gray and correspondence with campus figures and committees complete the correspondence.
