Bulk of collection was transferred directly from creating staff members or their departments to Sterling Morton Library staff. In some cases, records came to the Sterling Morton Library from successor staff members long after the creating staff member had left the Arboretum.
This collection contains the records of The Morton Arboretum from its founding in 1922 to the present, including some land deeds that predate the founding of the Arboretum. Records include living collections records, construction and landscape design plans, reports, correspondence, publications, ephemera, photographs, audio visual materials, and official meeting minutes.
Collection is arranged into series by document type. Series and subseries are arranged by document type, alphabetically, or chronologically depending on the material. Arrangement for each series or subseries is recorded in the record for that series or subseries.
