These six diaries were found in the Dr. John O. Sullivan Collection. Research was conducted in order to find more information about Esther L. Oberg, the author of the diaries, but none could be found. One of the journals, labeled "My Trip Abroad" mentions her returning "home" to Stockholm, Sweden. She wrote in her journals that she attended the first and second Summer Schools for Women Workers in Industry at the Bryn Mawr College, in 1921 and 1922. From 1923-1926 she was presumably a faculty member at Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania and/or at Brookwood College in Katanoah, New York. In these diaries Oberg also mentions being part of the Y.W.C.A. These diaries contain day-to-day experiences at the Bryn Mawr Summer School in 1921 and 1922. The diaries also contain notes from lectures she attended, discussions she listened to, and lists of names and addresses of students and faculty members that attended the summer school from 1923-1926. Some of the journals contain only hand-written, typed and pasted in quotes and prayers.

This collection includes letters, personal papers, manuscripts, books, maps, and artifacts from E. Thomas and Margaret Fitzell Tifft Gilliard. The letters are from before, during, and after World War II between friends and family of Thomas and Margaret. The bulk of the letters include correspondence with Therese "Teddy" "Butchi" Waelchli, Thomas's aunt. The personal papers are official military documents, non-military documents, and notes. There are family photographs, photographs taken while Thomas served with the 63rd Infantry Regiment, 6th Infantry Division,  in the Pacific Campaign, and photographs from the many scientific expeditions they took.
