The collection consists of eleven boxes of miscellaneous photographs of various dates, creators, and conditions, all pertaining to local Bristol history. Some photographs are copies with the status of the original prints and their provenance being unknown.

Photographs within this collection have been digitized and published to the Digital Collections website. Any that are photocopies have not been included online for publication, but can be viewed in the physical collection.

Items in this collection have been gifted to or entrusted to Harold and Carol Mitchener for preservation. Due to the length of time between recieving the material and bringing it to the archive some of the source information has been lost. These materials relate to Bristol businesses, citizens, and organizations.

This collection is organized in the original received order from the donor as it came into the Grundy Archive. The collection consists of personal papers, photographs, and items that were handed down from the Hunter, Townsend, and Weagley families.

This collection contains an assortment of published and unpublished local history books on Bristol Borough and the surrounding area, some being spare copies of items in the open stacks of the Grundy Library, but deemed unique enough to keep. The collection also contains miscellaneous scrapbooks and business/community ledgers in varying physical conditions.

This collection is organized in individual files of record bodies deemed too small to have their own collection and are from a wide variation of accessions and provenance, or have a lack of provenance. Items within these small collections are organized in original received order from the respective creators or donors.
