A considerable collection of papers was bought by IHS Library in 1978 from Michael W. Jump. Many of these papers concerned New York and Michigan rather than Indiana, and the purchase was made with the understanding that such non-Indiana papers would be given to libraries in New York and Michigan; this was done in 1978.
The remainder of the collection, mainly Indiana materials, remained unprocessed until 1991. At that time, two groups of related papers were made into separate collections: H. M. Dowling (SC 2327) and Joel Guthrie (SC 2328). What remains in the collection is a group of apparently unrelated items dating from 1858 to 1945. Family names mentioned in the items are Hewitt, Melott, Mead, Farr, J. H. Scarn (an architect in Indianapolis in 1888), Tanner and Sullivan (dealers in tinware in Indianapolis in the 1890s), Goodman, Tebbutt, Anderson, and May. There are also two political clippings from the campaign of 1876.
