The collection consists of six folders, one each containing the papers of Joseph J. (and Sylvia) Adamkiewicz, the four children of Joseph and Sylvia, Ladislaus L. Adamkiewicz, Bernard J. Adamkiewicz, Theodore T. Marlewski, and the Kolpacki Family. The majority of the papers are newsclippings recording special events in the lives of the Adamkiewicz family, such as appointments to medical staffs, engagement and wedding announcements, and the rescue of Ladislaus following the sinking of his ship during World War I. There are also school report cards and graduation announcements in the folders of Joseph and Ladislaus, photographs of Ladislaus and of the Marlewski pharmacy, obituaries, and fragmentary correspondence, primarily regarding Ladislaus's naval orders.
