For some years he was recording these increases multiple days per month. Also included are numbers of bookplates by category, such as libraries, universities, societies, clubs, and individuals both American and foreign. Thousands of names identified with different bookplates are also recorded, in some instances with the date he acquired them from that person.

Textual material includes catalogues for the private library of Frederick W. French to be sold at auction in 1901, and the exhibition of bookplates and engraved work to be exhibited at the Grolier Club in New York on 1909. Most of the photographs and photomechanical prints are portraits of people associated with literature, the arts, and humanities, such as Enrico Caruso, Frank O. Lowden, Sidney L. Smith, Billie Burke, Burton Holmes, Marie Doro, Geraldine Farrar, Ernest Thompson Seton, Rex Beach, Charles Dickens, Elbert Hubbard, Carolyn Wells, Daniel C. Beard, George Ade, Lyman Abbot, Robert Hughes, and Edward Bok.
