Approximately 300 pages of genealogical research notes from the early 1900s pertaining to the Scribner, Freeman, and Heckle families, extending back to the 17th century. Materials primarily trace the genealogical lines of the Scribner family descending from Waterboro, Maine and were probably collected by William Marshall Scribner. The collection also includes twenty-seven photographs, mostly of Scribner family members and their homesteads in Maine and New Hampshire from 1864-1900.

Other materials include speeches given by John Conant Long, a Chicago real estate and businessman. It is unclear how Long is affiliated with the family. There are also extensive research and notes by Ethel Lega-Weekes regarding the Freeman family. These research notes were probably sent to Maud Hambleton Kirk (Mrs. Walter Radcliffe Kirk) of Chicago. It is also unclear how the Freeman family or the Kirks are related to the Scribner family.

This collection was previously classified as Midwest MS 147.
