Series II, Business Records, contains many of the documents Leon Holland used in his business as a surveyor and civil engineer in South County in the first half of the twentieth century. Included in the series are land evidence records, copies of deeds, plat sketches, surveyor's notes, copies of wills, ledgers, income tax returns, and business correspondence relating to Holland's work in South County. Among items of interest are land evidence records and copies of deeds relating to the property of many prominent families in South Kingstown and Narragansett. Such family names as Hazard, Wells, Tefft, Steadman, and Robinson, as well as the Catholic Diocese of Rhode Island, appear regularly in Holland's business papers. The deeds and land evidence records served as the raw materials from which Holland produced the carefully detailed maps and survey plats which appear in Series I. His ledgers of accounts receivable also reflect those same names and institutions and indicate the extent of Holland's business in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Other items worthy of perusal include Holland's individual and business income tax returns for the 1940's. Studied in conjunction with the aforementioned ledgers, the income tax returns provide a detailed view of Holland's income over a thirty year period. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject or type of record and chronologically by date within folders. Deeds and land evidence records and surveys are grouped together under their respective categories and then filed alphabetically by name of property owner 		1877-1950

Series Personal papers
The Personal Papers Series contains the personal, non-business records of the Coffin and Robinson families over an extended period. Among the papers included are correspondence, letterpress copybooks, income tax returns, bank statements, check stubs, school grade reports, and trust income statements. Of particular interest in this series are the personal financial records of Isaac Robinson and Elsie Potter Robinson Coffin. The income tax returns, bank statements, check stubs, bills, and receipts reveal a good deal about the costs of goods and services in the early twentieth century, as well as indicating the income needed to sustain the lifestyle of an upper middle class family in the era of the Great Depression. Also of interest in the series is the correspondence between Elsie and her sons Tristram and Peter while they were away at college at Haverford and Amherst respectively. The letters reveal a close familial relationship between mother and sons, one based on trust and mutual respect. Finally, in this series are reprints and copies of journal articles written by Tristram P. Coffin. Coffin became a renowned author, teacher, and lecturer in the field of American folklore. The records in this series are arranged alphabetically by the name of the family member and chronologically by date within folders 		1870-1979
Series Business records
Included in this series are ledgers, annual reports, daybooks, journals, and incorporation papers for such family owned businesses as the Marginal Dock Company, Robinson's Congress Stores of New York, the Point Judith Railroad Company, and the family owned Edgewood Farm. Items of special interest in the Business Records Series include those records relating to the Edgewood Farm, the family homestead and a working commercial farm in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among the Edgewood Farm records are general financial ledgers, crop ledgers, journals, and day books spanning the years 1880 to 1907. The day books in particular offer fascinating insights into the daily activities of a moderately large commercial farm in turn of the century southern Rhode Island. Also of importance are the crop ledgers which give an indication of milk and cash crop production, as well the general farm ledgers which give one an idea of the capital involved in operating a farm the size of Edgewood. Other items of interest in the series include the annual reports and ledgers of the Marginal Dock Company and the incorporation papers of the Point Judith Railroad, of which both Isaac and Jeremiah Robinson were original incorporators. The records are arranged alphabetically by the name of the business and chronologically by date within folders 		1879-1936
Series Scrapbooks
The Scrapbook Series consists of scrapbooks compiled by Elsie Potter Robinson Coffin during her childhood. Also in this series are two scrapbooks of unknown origin, one of newspaper clippings relating to the New York Athletic Club and another of clippings relating to the Marginal Dock Company. Each of Elsie Potter Robinson's scrapbooks is unique and interesting. One is devoted solely to coats of arms and monograms of individuals, businesses and nations. A second is devoted to pictures of Greek and Roman ruins, apparently clipped from magazines. Finally, a third is a potpourri of newspaper clippings, cartoons, pictures, and parts of programs from Broadway plays. The subject matter ranges from fashion to the theatre, to the American Revolution to the Spanish-American War. The scrapbooks are arranged alphabetically by the name of the compiler, or by the topic of the scrapbook if the compiler is unknown 		1897-1917
