The collection consists of twelve series: Family Papers, General Correspondence, Subject File, Speeches and Writings File, Legal File, Biographical File, Financial Papers, Miscellany, Photographs, Additions, Oversize, and Classified. Although the papers present a comprehensive record of Robert Jackson's life dating from his school days, the Legal File series dominates the collection. The earliest of the papers relates to the private law practice which he established in 1913 in Jamestown, New York, and represents a period of twenty-one years of legal service in western New York. The bulk of the law practice material pertains to cases in which Jackson was involved as counsel to the Jamestown Telephone Company, the Jamestown Westfield and Northwestern Railroad Company, Jamestown Worsted Mills, and the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Company. The papers also contain a few smaller files on other cases, including Lyle
