The collection contains correspondence, personal and subject files, and campaign and printed materials relating to Glover's career, chiefly his election and tenure as Jacksonville Sheriff from 1995 to 2003. The core of the collection are printed materials pertaining to his campaigns for Jacksonville Sheriff (1995; 1999) and Mayor (2003), and photographs showing highlights from his JSO years. The images provide visual documentation of his extensive involvement in the community, through neighborhood walks, speaking engagements at local schools, and attendance at numerous ceremonies, events and receptions. In totality, the Glover Papers are of interest to scholars researching race relations in Jacksonville and Florida in the late twentieth century, as well as providing information on Glover as a key figure in promoting change. His post-retirement work is also well-documented in the collection, and significant for its potentially far-reaching effects on Jacksonville's children and social welfare issues.
