Correspondence, family geneaologies, a historic district inforamtion form, maps, photographs, research notes, and a speech given by Gwendolyn Caldwell to the Athens Garden Club.

Of note are histories of the Harmon Caldwell family. Caldwell, born in Carmel, was president of the University of Georgia (1935-1948) and Chancellor of the University System of Georgia (1948-1964).

The materials appear to have been complied by the widow of Harmon Caldwell, Gwendolyn Burton Caldwell, who advocated for the preservation of this area and whom, in 1993, secured the help of Ellen B. Ehrenhard, a historic preservation consultant, to conduct further research and write the Historic District Information Form.

In a June 1998 speech before the Ladies Garden Club of Athens, Gwendolyn Brooks recounts her marriage with Harmon, whom she married in 1944 when she was a professor of plant pathology at the University of Georgia, and their time and home in his birthplace of Carmel.

Also of note is an interview of D.X. Gordy from 20 May 1980, a first-person narrative about his family who were potters.
