This series consists of field notebooks from Williams' study of fossils in Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio; laboratory notebooks; office notebooks containing
daily entries of letters written and received and notes on the progress of his experiments; and notes from the International Geological Congresses held in Berlin and Washington,
D.C., 1885 and 1891, respectively. In addition to the notebooks, which are numbered, there are corresponding index cards prepared by Williams which provide summaries of the
information contained in the notebooks.
