William Henry Seward Papers Finding Aid 
Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation

The William Henry Seward finding aid provides detailed information about the contents of the Seward collection, which includes more than 100,000 items spanning nearly 200 years. Please contact rarebks@library.rochester.edu with questions.

Student and Project Designed Finding Aids

Students enrolled in the Seward classes and project team members have composed finding aids to detail the organization of the larger Seward Papers collection. The finding aids are detailed descriptions of the Chesebro, Grier, Miller and Weed collections in the Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation in the University of Rochester River Campus Libraries. Another finding aid is specific to a box of Frances Seward’s miscellaneous items. These finding aids will also be useful to researchers interested in exploring the extended Seward family and friends network.
