The Cummings Papers contain a large selection of family letters (1823-1946), family deeds (1795-1906) from Dunstable Massachusetts, Norwich and Thetford Vermont, family photogrphs (ca. 1850-1944), genealogical data, and two volumes of Cummings family and North Thetford history, compiled by Elizabeth Cummings.

The Thomas H. Canfield Papers can be divided into three sections: the correspondence and papers of Thomas H. Canfield, Sr., those of his son, Thomas H.
