This series is divided into four sections: 'General;' 'Education;' 'Family;' and 'Writings About Neilson.'
'General' consists of correspondence, news clippings, award certificates and citations, memorabilia, and miscellaneous notes pertaining to Neilson's life, career, and death. The material in this section is arranged by subject with the oversize material in a separate sequence.
'Education' consists of essays, notes, and miscellaneous papers primarily from his years at the University of Edinburgh and at Harvard University. There are two notebooks and an article which pre-date Neilson's college days. This material is arranged chronologically with the oversize material in a separate sequence.
'Family' consists primarily of correspondence with some writings and diaries. Both the Neilson and Muser families are well represented. The material is arranged by family and then alphabetically by individual with oversize material in a separate sequence.
'Writings About Neilson' contains biographical articles and volumes arranged in two sequences alphabetically by title.
