The Bridges Smith collection includes 117 illustrated envelopes postmarked between 1894 and 1917 and mailed by family, business associates, and friends. A small amount of correspondence dates into the early 1920s and is a mixture of business and pleasure in subject matter. Smith was related to Miss Sallie Boone, Mercer Librarian (1904-1934) and Librarian Emeritus (1934-1951).

The Sylvan Hills Baptist Church collection contains 8 boxes of church conference minutes, notes, and reports. The collection also contains information documenting deacons, memberships, activities, and the church fire.
