Some of the materials pertain directly to Hemingway and his life, but others are items about Hemingway.

The items are arranged in sixteen subgroups in the following order: Bibliographies; Book Jackets; Bookplates; Broadsides; Brochures; Cards; Dealer Lists and Catalogs; Monographs; Postage Stamps; Posters; Pressbooks; Programs; Publisher and Mail Order Catalogs; Reprints and Photocopies; Tearsheets; and Travel Brochures and Maps.
